META-ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF HUMANIZED NURSING MODELS ON CLINICAL OUTCOMES AND PARENTAL SATISFACTION IN PEDIATRIC PNEUMONIA AMONG YOUNG ATHLETES

Abstract

Objective: This meta-analysis assesses the effectiveness of humanized nursing models on the clinical symptoms of pediatric pneumonia and the satisfaction levels of parents, specifically focusing on young athletes. Methods: A systematic search was conducted up to December 2022 using various databases. Studies that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed using RevMan 5.4 software, focusing on the impact of humanized versus routine nursing care on the clinical outcomes in pediatric patients. Results: The analysis included eight studies involving young athletes with pneumonia. The meta-analysis demonstrated that humanized nursing significantly reduced the time for the resolution of wheezing (Z=45.15, P < 0.00001) and pulmonary rales (Z=29.71, P < 0.00001) compared to standard care. Additionally, it significantly enhanced parental satisfaction with the care provided (Z=6.28, P < 0.00001). Conclusions: Implementing a humanized nursing model in the treatment of pediatric pneumonia in young athletes can significantly improve clinical outcomes and increase parental satisfaction. These findings suggest that such nursing models could be particularly beneficial in managing young athletes, who may require rapid recovery for return to training and competition. Despite these promising results, the limited number of studies and their moderate quality highlight the need for further research with larger samples and higher quality designs to confirm these findings and optimize care strategies for this specific population.
