ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of strengthening self -management on the treatment compliance and outcome in hepatitis B patients with decompensated cirrhosis treated with entecavir.Methods A total of 120 hepatitis B patients with decompensated cirrhosis, who received antiviral therapy with entecavir in our hospital from January 2010 to January 2012,were randomly divided into control group (n=60)and intervention group (n =60).Both groups received routine nursing care;in addition,regular telephone follow -up was performed for the intervention group to provide guidance for the self -management during the comprehensive prevention and treatment of decompensated cirrhosis.The two groups were compared in terms of withdrawal rate,rehospitalization rate,hepatitis B virus (HBV)DNA negative conver-sion rate,incidence of primary liver cancer,and mortality one year later.Continuous data were analyzed by t test,and categorical data by chi -square test or Fisher′s exact test.Results The withdrawal rate and rehospitalization rate in the intervention group were 0 and 18.3%, respectively,versus 8.3% and 35% in the control group (P 0.05 for all).Conclusion Strengthening self -management,as well as regular health education,can improve treatment compliance and promote recovery in hepatitis B patients with decompensated cirrhosis treated with entecavir.
