Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of “connet, introduce,communicate, ask, and respond” (CICARE) communication mode on the satisfaction of patients with spinal cord injury.Methods We selected 30 cases of inpatients who were treated with traditional nursing mode (control group) and 30 cases who were treated with additional CICARE communication mode (observation group) in 2016 to conduct a patient satisfaction survey. The satisfaction with nursing care was compared between the two groups.Results The satisfaction level of the patients with spinal cord injury after treatment with CICARE communication mode was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion CICARE mode can improve the quality of life of patients, both nurses’ and patients’ satisfaction, and nurses’ communication skills, psychological nursing ability, and management ability.
