Abstract

|
|
Purpose: This study was conducted for an evidence-based nursing intervention on bed rest period after puncture, by confirming whether there was a difference in scores of headache and back pain between the 1-hour bed rest group and the 6-hour bed rest group following lumbar puncture in patients with leukemia.
Method: The subjects were 45 inpatients of the department of hematology at a general hospital in Seoul, from January 1 to March 31, 2005. There were 21 patients in the 1-hour bed rest group and 24 patients in the 6-hour bed rest group. A graphic rating scale was used to measure headaches and back pains. Collected data were analyzed with SPSS 12.0. Non- parametric statistics were used to analyze the data.
Results: There was no significant difference between the 1-hour bed rest group and the 6-hour bed rest group in the headache level and back pain level.
Conclusion: Therefore, it is considered that a long period of bed rest over 6 hours after lumbar puncture is not a necessary nursing intervention, and repeated studies are required to confirm the result.
