Effect of mind mapping combined with artificial intelligence speaker on continuous care after total hip arthroplasty

  Objective  To observe the effect of mind mapping combined with artificial intelligence (AI) speaker applied in continued nursing care in elderly patients after total hip arthroplasty (THR).

  Methods  A total of 102 elderly patients after THR were randomly divided into control group (52 cases) and study group (50 cases). The control group received conventional telephone follow-up for continuous nursing, and the study group received mind mapping combined with AI speaker mode for continuous nursing on the basis of the control group. The Harris scores and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores of hip joint function were analyzed in the two groups at discharge, 1 month and 3 months after discharge. The Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) score and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) score were compared in the two groups at admission and 3 months after discharge.The incidence of complications and the satisfaction rate of continuous care within 3 months after discharge were compared between the two groups.

  Results  At 1 month and 3 months after discharge, Harris scores in the two groups were significantly higher than that at discharge, VAS score was significantly lower, Harris score in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group at 3 months after discharge, and VAS score in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Three months after discharge, SAS and SDS scores in both groups were significantly lower than those at admission, and the SAS and SDS scores of the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05). Within 3 months after discharge, the incidence of complications in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group, and the satisfaction rate of continuous care was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05).

  Conclusion  Mind mapping combined with AI speaker mode is more effective than telephone follow-up mode in improving the continuous rehabilitation effect, nursing satisfaction rate as well as negative emotions of elderly patients after THR surgery.
