The significance of rehabilitation-promoting nursing care is emphasized in aging Finland. According to studies, rehabilitation-promoting nursing care enhances the functional capacity of the elderly. The Elderly Services Act obliges municipalities to create a plan to support the elderly population, emphasizing living at home and rehabilitative measures. A large portion of graduated practical nurses will be working with the elderly, so the education of practical nurses must meet the needs of the workforce. The study aimed to produce new information on the implementation of rehabilitation-promoting nursing care in the elderly services system and on the education of rehabilitation-promoting nursing care for the elderly in vocational institutions. The research data was collected in the fall of 2020 through individual theme interviews with practical nurse students (n = 8). The data was analyzed using inductive content analysis. The experiences of practical nurse students regarding rehabilitation-promoting nursing care for the elderly were related to nurses’ time management, organizational practices, nurses’ competence, nurses’ attitudes, nurses’ methods of operation, organizational development, implementation and development of practical teaching, factors affecting the use of aids, and the technology of aids in the future. In conclusion, it can be stated that the content of education and practical work life do not align. It is essential to increase competence in rehabilitation-promoting nursing care and develop organizational practices.

In recent years, the incidence rate of chronic diseases has shown a steady increase in every industrialized country. The almost logarithmic trend of the number of people living with chronic diseases is constantly on the rise. Each predictive statistical model indicates a strong impact on national health systems at the level of the organization of care and management costs. It is urgent to systematically introduce an evidence-based care model in chronic care management such as the Chronic Care Model. The Chronic Care Model is the reference model for WHO. The Chronic Care Model allows for personalized, holistic, multi-professional assistance, characterized by a strong humanization of care, preventive interventions, and relationships between healthcare professionals, patients, and caregivers as a system of care and assistance. The fundamental roles are social integration and the improvement of the quality of life of patients. The Chronic Care Model involves the use of a computerized system of information flow and telemedicine and trained healthcare professionals. The Chronic Care Model showed an improvement in the quality of life, a reduction in the number of hospitalizations, better adherence to therapies, and a reduction in costs.

Objective: To investigate the effect of applying continuous quality improvement methods on preventing the phenomenon of pseudo-poor electrocardiogram (ECG) procedures by nurses in the emergency care unit. Methods: The study was conducted in Shangluo Central Hospital Shaanxi from August 2020 to August 2021, and 200 emergency patients who received ECG during this period were selected for the comparative study, and grouped into two groups: the control group was given routine management, while the experimental group was managed by continuous quality improvement. The two groups were compared in terms of pseudo-differences in ECG procedures. Results: The patients in the experimental group had a higher rate of qualified ECG readings and procedures, and a lower rate of pseudo-errors and nursing disputes, all of which were significantly different from the control group (P < 0.05), which is significant, and the experimental group had a better effect. Conclusion: When ECG examination is carried out in the emergency care unit, the application of continuous quality improvement management methods is conducive to improving the quality of ECG examination, reducing the incidence of pseudo-discrepancy, and providing a reliable reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
