ABSTRACT
Objective:To observation the application of multimedia combined with health education manuals in asthma children.Methods:A total of 192 asthma children who were admitted to Haikou Hospital of the Maternal and Child Health between January and December 2019 were enrolled. They were divided into observation group and control group by random number table method, 96 cases in each group. The control group was given routine health education based on oral education, while observation group was additionally given multimedia intervention. Both groups were continuously intervened for 4 weeks. After intervention, treatment compliance was evaluated. The health behaviors and quality of life before and after intervention in both groups were recorded. Both groups were followed up after 6 months of intervention. The number of cases with acute asthma attacks, and number of re-admission and hospitalization cases due to asthma in both groups were statistically analyzed.Results:The compliance of observation group was significantly better than that of control group in terms of quantitative medication on time, inhaler usage and recording asthma diary ( Z values were 9.809, 10.082, 10.287, P<0.05). After intervention, health behaviors such as keeping away from allergens, medication following doctor's advice, paying attention to keep warm, diet control, exercise training and inhaler usage in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group ( χ 2 values were 5.169-19.006, P<0.05). After intervention, scores of symptoms, activities and emotion, and total score of Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ) in observation group were (48.52±7.46), (25.16±4.83) (110.32±20.64) and (36.57±5.64) points, significantly higher than (42.17±7.12), (18.65±3.72), (29.86±5.48) and (85.06±16.23) points in control group ( t values were 6.146-10.463, P<0.05). During follow-up, the incidence rates of acute asthma attack, re-admission and re-hospitalization due to asthma in observation group were 21.89% (20/91), 15.38% (14/91), 9.89% (9/91), which were lower than 39.33% (35/89), 23.58% (29/89), 25.84% (23/89) in control group ( χ 2 values were 6.381, 7.321, 7.833, P<0.05). Conclusion:The multimedia combined health education manuals can effectively improve treatment compliance, health behaviors and quality of life in asthma children, and reduce incidence of asthma related events.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the effects of multimedia combined with health education manual on ACT score, family knowledge and compliance with standard treatment for children with bronchial asthma. Methods The clinical data of 82 children with bronchial asthma who had received treatment in the hospital between October 2017 and March 2018 were randomly selected, among which the children who had received treatment between October 2017 and December 2017 were set as the control group (n=41) and those who had received treatment between January 2018 and March 2018 as the study group (n=41). Oral health education was applied in the control group, whereas multimedia combined with health education manual were given to the study group. The clinical application effects in the two groups were compared. Results The scores of ACT (Asthma Control Test), Initiative Clause Sociale (ICS), and satisfaction degree in the study group were 23.30±3.74, 11.10±2.20, 95.08±3.33, significantly higher than 18.23±2.62, 6.69±2.12, 72.11±3.24 in the control group (t=7.109, 9.243, 31.656, P<0.01). The family mastery of knowledge in the control group was 73.13% (30/41), lower than that in the study group, which was 95.12% (39/41) (χ2=7.405, P<0.05). The rate of complete compliance with treatment accounted for 87.80% (36/41) in the study group, higher than 60.98% (25/41) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=7.746, P<0.05). Conclusion For children with bronchial asthma, the combination of multimedia and health education manual intervention can help increase the knowledge and asthma control ability of their parents, as well as their compliance with treatment.
