院外强化教育模式在支气管哮喘患者中应用的效果

目的评价院外强化教育模式在支气管哮喘患者中的应用效果。方法便利抽样法选取2011年5月至2012年8月东阳市人民医院呼吸内科就诊的支气管哮喘患者120例,根据入组时间分为研究组和对照组各60例,对照组采用传统的院内教育模式,研究组在传统教育模式基础上采取出院后强化的健康教育模式。分别于入组后1、2、3个月比较两组患者的哮喘知识评分、吸入剂及峰速仪使用正确率、坚持遵嘱用药率及哮喘控制情况。结果第2、3个月时,研究组患者的哮喘知识得分高于对照组;第3个月时,研究组患者吸入剂、峰速仪的使用正确率及遵医嘱用药率均优于对照组;研究组的哮喘控制情况优于对照组,复发率低于对照组,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.01)。结论院外强化教育模式有利于患者哮喘知识的掌握,并且对患者掌握吸入剂、峰速仪的使用及提高用药依从性具有良好效果,从而使哮喘症状得到更好的控制。
