Effect of Continuous Nursing Model Based on WeChat Public Health Education on Self-Management Level and Treatment Compliance of Stroke Patients

Abstract

Background: To analyze the effect of continuous nursing model based on WeChat public health education on self-management level and treatment compliance of stroke patients.

Methods: Overall, 98 stroke patients admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, ChongQing, 400000,China from Feb 2018 to Feb 2019 were enrolled as the research objects. They were randomly and equally divided into experimental group and control group. The control group received routine nursing management model while the experimental group received continuous nursing model based on WeChat public health education to compare the self-management level, treatment compliance, life quality and other indexes between the two groups.

Results: The overall self-management level in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). The life quality scores in both groups after nursing intervention increased, and the scores in the experimental group after nursing intervention were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.001). The total treatment compliance rate in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group (P=0.001). After nursing intervention, the readmission rate and complication rate in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05).

Conclusion: The implementation of continuous nursing model based on WeChat public health education for stroke patients can significantly enhance the self-management level, improve the cognitive level on stroke related-health knowledge, improve treatment compliance of patients in the nursing process, promote their physical and mental health, improve the life quality and effectively reduce the complication rate and readmission rate.
