ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the influence of self-management and education on behaviors of medical compliance of patients undergoing vitrectomy combined with tamponade.Methods Sixty-four patients undergoing vitrectomy combined with tamponade were randomized equally into the control group and observation group in the order of admission.The control group received routine care and health education,while the observation group received self-management education follow-ups besides the routine nursing.The two groups were compared in terms of the cumulative time of the correct position,compliance behavior and the incidence of postoperative complications.Results The cumulative time of the correct position of observation group was longer than that of the control group after operation.The observation group did better in compliance behavior than the control group and the incidence of postoperative complications in the former group was lower than the latter(P<0.05).Conclusion Self-management and education can enhance patients’behaviors in medical compliance and decrease postoperative complications and promote the success of the surgery.
