Application Analysis of Mind Map in Home Self-Management Model of Elderly Patients with Hyperuricemia
Objective:To investigate the application value of mind map in home self-management of elderly patients with hyperuricemia(HUA).Method:A total of 90 elderly HUA patients treated from May 1,2020 to February 28,2022 were randomly selected by simple ran-dom sampling method as research objects,and were divided into control group and observation group with 45 in each group according to random number table method.The control group implemented the home self-management model based on conventional online guidance,and the observation group implemented the home self-management model based on the mind map.Self-management ability by Gout Patient Self-Management Assessment Scale(GPSAS),laboratory test results by uric acid(UA)and serum creatinine(Scr),quality of life by Gout Im-pact Scale(GIS)and the number of gout attacks were compared between the two groups on the day of discharge and 4 weeks after the inter-vention.Result:Four weeks after the intervention,the GPSAS scores and total scores in both groups were higher than those on the day of discharge(P<0.05),and observation group has higher scores than control group(P<0.05).Four weeks after the intervention,the UA and Scr levels of the two groups were significantly lower than those on the day of discharge,and they were lower in the observation group than those in the control group(P<0.05).During the intervention period,the number of gout attacks in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.01,P<0.05).Compared with the day of discharge,the scores and total scores of GIS were signif-icantly improved(P<0.05),and they were higher in the observation group than those in the control group(P<0.01,P<0.05).Conclusion:The application of the home self-management mode of mind map in elderly patients with HUA has obvious effects,which helps to improve patients' self-management ability,promote the reduction of UA and Scr levels,reduce the risk of gout attack,and has a positive effect on improving patients' quality of life.
