ABSTRACT
Objective In order to improve blood donors to understand the health education knowledge,this study designed and evaluated a new project,that is the health education pathway for primary apheresis donors.Methods A total of 2900 primary apheresis donors participated in the current study,who were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group.The experimental group was performed the health education pathway for primary apheresis donors,while the control group was conducted in the traditional health educational ways.We compared the basic information,the awareness rate of apheresis donation knowledge,the number of regnlar/repeated donors,and the frequency of donations.Results Two groups were matched with no group differences in basic information (P＞0.05).After performed the health education pathway for primary apheresis donors,the awareness rate of apheresis donation knowledge was significantly improved from 23.6％ to 84.3％ (P＜0.01).Moreover,the percentage of regular donors (40.2％) in the experimental group higher than the percentage (26.7％) in the control group(P＜0.01).The average donation times of experimental group (3.8) was also higher than the control group.There were 79.2％ donors changed to regular/repeated donors higher than the percentage (66.4％) in the control group,and the average frequency of apheresis of those regular/repeated apheresis donors (7.4) in the experimental group higher than the control group (6.4) (P＜0.01).Conclusion As showed in our results,the health education pathway for primary apheresis donors could effectively help donors to understand the knowledge of blood donation and health care,and promote team construction of regular donors.We hope,in the future,the health education pathway for primary apheresis donors could be widely spread.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the clinical effect of health education pathway on patients after hip replacement. Methods Patients after artificial hip replacement (200 cases) were divided randomly into the observation group and the control group with 100 cases in each group.The control group adopted general health education methad.The observation group was given health education according to health education pathway.The level of disease-related knowledge and satisfactory degree were compared between the two groups. Results The level of disease-related knowledge and satisfactory degree in the observation group were higher than those of the control group (P ＜ 0.01 ). Conclusions Health education pathway can facilitate level of disease-related knowledge and positive cooperation with treatment and nursing of patients as well as increase satisfactory degree of patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the influence of health education pathway on detaining time of thoracic drainage tube and standardize the nursing procedure for postoperative patients.Methods Forty five patients after thoracotomy from March to December in 2006 were set as the control group.Fifty patients of the same kind from January to September in 2007 were named the test group.The control group received conventional nursing education.The test group received health education on the day of operation,the first,second,third and fourth day after operation from specified nurses according to health education pathway.The contents included psychological nursing,pain management,respiratory function and physical training and enhancement of drainage efficacy.The average indwelling time of thoracic drainage tube was recorded.Results The average indwelling time of thoracic drainage tube in the test group and the control group was(74.40±8.88)h and(91.68±10.08)h respectively,which showed statistical difference,P＜0.01.Conclusions Application of health education pathway effectively shortened indwelling time of thoracic drainage tube as well as reduced pain and medical costs of patients.
