Diet nursing patients should focus on a light, delicious, digestible and nutritious diet. Soybeans, black beans, soybeans and other legumes are rich in protein and trace elements, which are beneficial to promote the metabolism of muscles, bones, joints and tendons, and promote the repair of injuries, so it is advisable to take more. Patients should also eat more foods rich in vitamins, such as fruits and vegetables. Some dietary taboos in diet are also strictly observed by patients. People suffering from wind, cold and dampness should avoid eating raw food. People suffering from thermal joint pain should avoid spicy, irritating, greasy, sweet food, alcoholic drinks and other foods.
Psychological nursing Psychological nursing is also a major nursing point for ankylosing spondylitis. The disease is easy to cause physical pain and limited joint movement function, which leads to the emotional impact of patients. At the same time, the treatment course of the disease is relatively long, and the treatment has not improved. Patients are prone to negative emotions such as pessimism, anxiety, depression, etc., which can easily lead to a great discount on the therapeutic effect and prolong the course of disease, which is not conducive to physical and mental health. Therefore, in psychological care, there must be no slack. Family members of patients need to give psychological comfort and spiritual encouragement to patients in time to eliminate negative emotions, establish patients' confidence in disease treatment, and be conducive to the rehabilitation of diseases.
Daily care Daily care involves all aspects. For example, you should maintain a correct posture when sleeping, sleep on your back without a pillow, and choose a hard bed when sleeping, so as to maintain the normal physiological curvature of the spine and avoid deformity and stiffness of the spine. Patients with arthralgia due to wind-cold-dampness should also pay attention to the cold and temperature of joint pain in daily life, so as to avoid the invasion of wind-cold-dampness and aggravate the pain and discomfort. Functional exercise is also the nursing focus of ankylosing spondylitis. Horizontal bar, squatting and bending are all suitable as functional exercises. Reasonable and scientific exercise is beneficial to strengthen the waist function, thus preventing adhesion, stiffness and muscle atrophy at the lesion.
The nursing of ankylosing spondylitis needs to cover all aspects from body to mind and from outside to inside. At the same time, patients need patience and confidence to insist on doing a good job in nursing.
