Effect of Continuous Health Education After Discharge on Medication Adherence and Self-tested Health Scores in Patients with Epilepsy
Objective:To investigate the effect of post-discharge continuous health promotion on medication adherence and self-reported health scores(SRHMS)in patients with epilepsy.Methods:140 patients with epilespy admitted to the hospital from Jan.2017 to Dec.2018 in the hospital were included in the study.70 epileptic patients who implemented post-discharge continuous health promotion intervention in the hospital from Jan.to Dec.2017 were selected as the observation group,and 70 epileptic patients who were in the year before the implementation of post-discharge continuous health promotion intervention from Jan.to Dec.2018 were selected as the control group.Clinical outcomes,medication adherence rates and SRHMS scores at different time points were compared between the two groups.Results:After intervention,the total effective rate of patients in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(χ2= 25.940,P＜0.05).The medication adherence of patients in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(χ2=24.27,P＜0.05).At admission and discharge,there was no statistically significant difference in SRHMS score profiles between the two groups(t=0.699,1.768,P＞0.05).At 1,6,and 12 months after discharge,the SRHMS scores of patients in the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(t=7.507,27.570,8.199,P＜0.05).Conclusion:Post-discharge continuous health promotion for patients with epilepsy is effective in improving disease control,medication adherence and health status.
