Abstract

Objective: To study the effect of family follow-up nursing in rehabilitation of elderly autistic patients in community institutions. Methods: 120 elderly autistic patients from February 2021 to July 2022 were randomly divided into a control group and a test group with 60 cases each. The patients in the control group were cared for at home by their family members, while the patients in the test group were given family follow-up rehabilitation care on the basis of the control group. The compliance of patients in the rehabilitation process, the UCLA loneliness score, the autism treatment assessment scale (ATEC) score of patients after this nursing care, and the quality-of-life scores of patients of the two groups before and after nursing care were compared. Results: The compliance of patients in the process of rehabilitation treatment was better in the experimental group than in the experimental group. The physical function score of patients after nursing was better in the experimental group than in the experimental group. The UCLA loneliness score and ATEC score of patients in the experimental group after nursing were lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05); the quality-of-life score was higher in the experimental group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The application of family follow-up nursing in the rehabilitation of elderly autistic patients in community institutions can significantly improve patients’ compliance and improve their prognosis, thus having high clinical value.
