Effectiveness analysis of WeChat doctor-patient interaction platform combined with medication treat-ment in patients with depression and attempted suicide
Objective To explore the effectiveness of WeChat doctor-patient interaction platform combined with medication treatment in patients with depression and attempted suicide.Methods From May 2019 to May 2020,a study was conducted on 120 patients with attempted suicide depression who improved/were cured and discharged from the psychiatric department.They were randomly divided into two groups using a random number table method.One group received routine drug treatment,regular laboratory examinations,and telephone follow-up(control group),and the other group received WeChat doctor-patient interaction platform management intervention(observation group),with 60 patients in each group.Both groups underwent a 1-year intervention to observe and compare their levels of depression,social support,medication adherence,readmission rate,and incidence of risky behaviors.Results After the inter-vention,the scores of Self-rating depression scale(SDS)in both groups were lower than those before the intervention,and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group(P<0.05).After intervention,the Social Sup-port Rating Scale(SSRS)scores of the observation group were higher than before intervention and significantly higher than those of the control group(P<0.05).After intervention,the score of the Medication Adherence Rating Scale(MARS)in the observation group was higher than before intervention and significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the readmission rate and incidence of dangerous behaviors of pa-tients in the observation group were significantly lower(P<0.05).Conclusion Implementing WeChat doctor-patient interaction platform intervention combined with medication treatment for patients with depression and attempted suicide can alleviate their depression level,strengthen their medication compliance,promote their social function recovery,and reduce the probability of suicide again.
