ABSTRACT
@#Objective To explore an effective pulmonary function training health education approach for patients after cardiothoracic surgery. Methods 100 patients after cardiothoracic surgery were randomly divided into experimental group (50 cases) and control group (50 cases). The patients in the control group were given conventional health education, while those in the experimental group were given standard pulmonary function training health education approach. Their incidence of complications, duration of chesttube and hospitalization were compared. Results The incidence of complications, duration of chesttube and hospitalization were all less in the experimental group than the controls （P<0.05）. Conclusion Standard pulmonary function training health education approach can accelerate the recovery of patients after cardiothoracic surgery.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To investigate the effects of health-education on the behaviors of following doctor's instructions of the patients receiving anticoagulation after valve replacement. MethodsThirty patients who received anticoagulation after valve replacement took part in this study. Health-education for knowledge of anticoagulation after valve replacement was implemented among these patients, and questionnaires investigating compliance for medication were subjected to all cases after their discharge of ward. The awareness of knowledge of anticoagulation was compared between patients of pre- and post-health-education,and the compliance of medication after discharge was also analyzed. ResultsHealth education improves the patient's understanding and knowledge about anticoagulation and also improves their attention to the doctor's instructions. Conclusion Health-education can increase the awareness of the knowledge of anticoagulation and the compliance among patients.
