Objective To investigate the application of individualized health education in patients with diabetes and its effect on compliance with doctor's advice.Methods A total of 102 patients with diabetes who were admitted to our hospital were randomly divided into control group and observation group,with 51 patients in each group.The patients in the control group were given conventional hypoglycemic therapy,and those in the observation group were given hypoglycemic therapy combined with individualized health education.Health education investigation was performed to evaluate patients' compliance with doctor's advice.SPSS 13.0 was used for the chi-square test.Results The observation group had a significantly higher rate of compliance with doctor's advice than the control group from the following five aspectstreatment compliance (98.04％ vs 80.39％,P＜0.05),smoking quitting and alcohol limiting (92.16％ vs 72.55％,P＜0.05),rational diet (86.27％ vs 66.67％,P＜0.05),exercise (80.39％ vs 58.82％,P＜0.05),and blood glucose moritoring (84.31％ vs 62.75％,P＜0.05).Conclusion The application of individualized health education in patients with diabetes can effectively improve their compliance with doctor's advice,and therefore,it holds promise for clinical application.
