ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of quantifying health education on nurse teaching in cardiovascular department. Methods Totally 98 nursing college students practicing in cardio-vascular department were randomly divided into experimental group and control group . Method of quantifying health education was employed in experiment group while traditional education was used in control group;all patients were guided by health education. After the internship, two ques-tionnaires were used separately to evaluate the health education effects on nurse students and patients. SPSS 17.0 software was used for statistical processing. The measurement data were expressed as x±s; The mean between the groups was compared using t test; the enumeration data between the groups were com-pared using字2 test, the ranked data were compared using rank sum test. α=0.05 was taken as inspec-tion level. Results The health education cognitive scores were higher in experimental group than in control group (P<0.05). The health education ability scores, theoretic test scores, and operation test scores were higher in experimental group than in control group, with statistical differences (t=3.20, 2.10, 2.87; P=0.001, 0.032, 0.004). There were statistical differences in patients' cognition after receiving health education. (Z=13.435, 14.290, 12.901, 12.466, 12.168, 11.350; all P=0.000). Conclusions Quantification of health education can improve health education cognition and ability of nursing students in cardiovascular department, enhance the ef-fectiveness of clinical practice, and help patients master knowledge of health education.
