Objective To explore the clinical effect of comprehensive nursing on cerebral infarction patients with high blood glucose. Methods Eighty cerebral infarction patients with high blood glucose treated between March 2012 and February 2013 were divided into observation group and control group with 40 patients in each. Patients in the control group received routine nursing care, while those in the observation group were given comprehensive nursing care. Then, we compared the two groups of patients in terms of their blood glucose control level, the recovery of neurological function and life quality. Results The fasting glucose, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose, National Institude of Health stroke scale (NIHSS), and modified Edinburgh Scandinavican scoring scale (MESSS) scores of the two groups were not statistically different at the time of hospital admission (P>0.05). However, fasting blood sugar, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose, NIHSS, and MESSS scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group before discharge (P<0.05). Life quality score of self-care, mental health, and social function before discharge in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Comprehensive nursing is helpful to control blood glucose in an ideal level range for cerebral infarction patients with hyperglycemia, which can also promote the recovery of neurological function and improve the life quality of patients.
