Role of strengthening health education combined with advanced nursing on the quality of life and results of patients with viral hepatitis

Objective: To explore the quality of life (QOL) and results of strengthening health education combined with advanced nursing for patients with viral hepatitis. Methods: Altogether 238 patients with viral hepatitis in our hospital were selected and divided into two groups according to different treatment intervention methods, of which 135 patients were given strengthening health education combined with advanced nursing as the intervention group (IG) and 103 patients were strengthening health education combined with routine nursing as the control group (CG). The liver function indexes were compared between the two groups. The treatment compliance and sleep quality during treatment were compared. The exercise of self-care agency (ESCA) and the general self-efficacy scale (GSES) were used to evaluate the patients' self-improvement degree. The disease specific quality of life (DSQL) was used to evaluate the patients' QOL. The Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) and Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) were used to evaluate the bad emotion. Finally, the nursing satisfaction was evaluated. Results: The improvement of liver function in the IG was better than that in the CG. The treatment compliance of patients in the IG was higher than that in the CG. The ESCA and GSES scores in the IG after treatment were higher than those in the CG. The DSQL score, HAMA score and HAMD score in the IG were lower than those in the CG. The total number of sleep disorders after treatment in the IG was lower than that in the CG. Nursing satisfaction of patients in IG was higher than that in CG. Conclusion: Strengthening health education combined with advanced nursing for patients with viral hepatitis can effectively improve the treatment compliance, thus better promoting the therapeutic effect, reducing the adverse emotions during treatment and improving the QOL of patients.
