The Application Effect of Interconnected Health Education for Dry Eye Patients
Objective To investigate the path of interconnected health education for patients with dry eye and to verify its application effect in clinical practice,so as to provide a reference scheme for health education for dry eye patients.Methods A total of 68 dry eye patients who visited the hospital from August to December 2022 were established as the control group,and 67 dry eye patients who visited the hospital from January to May 2023 were selected as the observation group.Routine health education was given in the control group,whereas interconnected health education was implemented in the observation group.Ocular surface Disease Index Scale(OSDI)and self-care ability scale(ESCA)were used to evaluate the 2 groups before intervention and at the 1st and 2nd week of intervention.Results At the 1st and 2nd week after intervention,the OSDI scores of both groups decreased compared to before intervention,and the observation group had lower scores than the control group(P<0.05).The ESCA of patients in both groups were higher than before intervention,and the observation group had higher scores than the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Interconnected health education can help alleviate ocular discomfort symptoms in patients with dry eye and enhance their self-care abilities with a relatively simple and efficient process.
