The Effect of MDT Collaborative Nursing Combined with Hierarchical Nursing Management Model on the Quality of Life and Comfort of Patients with Gallbladder Stones Combined with Acute Cholecystitis after Surgery

“…The MDT collaborative nursing combined hierarchical nursing management model can effectively improve the comfort of patients, because the MDT collaborative nursing combined hierarchical nursing management model can standardize the diet structure, improve the body's defense capabilities, and effectively establish a standardized lifestyle and eating habits, which will help improve the quality of life in the future. At the same time, with emotional nursing, it can target depression, anxiety, and other emotions of patients, carry out submissive psychotherapy, adjust the patient's emotions, and encourage them to maintain an optimistic and positive attitude [ 17 – 20 ]. The MDT collaborative nursing joint-level nursing management model emphasizes the “patient-centered” nursing concept, details the physical and psychological aspects of nursing, and can provide patients with high-quality, professional, and comprehensive nursing services and provide social, physical, emotional, physiological, other aspects, and social support, so as to maximize the physical and psychological comfort of patients, and improve negative emotions [ 21 – 24 ].…”

Will Multidisciplinary Collaboration Reduce the Disability Rate of Diabetic Foot (2009–2019)?—A Study Based on the Perspective of Organizational Reform

The utilisation of vascular limb salvage services in the assessment and management of chronic limb‐threatening ischaemia and diabetic foot ulceration: A systematic review

“…While vascular surgeons are now established members of the multidisciplinary team (MDT) for managing patients with DFUs, many centres and MDT services (eg, MDT diabetic foot clinics) do not provide direct access to vascular assessment, imaging and revascularisation. 7 In response to this, the idea of a specialist limb salvage service has been gaining prominence as a new model of care, which builds upon the MDT concept to help overcome these barriers. Fitzgerald and colleagues 8 provided the first definition of these services, describing seven essential skills required to deliver a limb salvage service in the context of managing DFUs.…”

“…This defies the contemporary trend towards greater multidisciplinary and collaborative working. While vascular surgeons are now established members of the multidisciplinary team (MDT) for managing patients with DFUs, many centres and MDT services (eg, MDT diabetic foot clinics) do not provide direct access to vascular assessment, imaging and revascularisation 7 …”

“…They reported a median time to healing of 12 (range 1-73) weeks; however, no comparative data was presented.4 | DISCUSSIONPatients with CLTI/DFU represent a complex, multi-morbid group who at minimum require input from multiple specialities in order to receive effective care 27. While MDT services are established in the management of DFUs, they frequently provide limited access to thorough vascular assessment and treatments 7. Specialist vascular limb salvage services help build upon this MDT model to provide a more comprehensive service to patients.…”
