RESUMO
Objective:To observe the influence of shared medical appointments on health-related quality of life and quality of sleep in patients after liver transplantation.Methods:By randomized controlled study, a total of 124 patients after liver transplantation were included from our hospital from January 2018 to January 2019, and according to the lottery method, all subjects were divided into the routine management group ( n=64) who received routine outpatient intervention and the shared medical management group ( n=60) who received shared medical appointments management. The health-related quality of life and quality of sleep were investigated and compared by post-liver transplant quality of life questionnaire (pLTQ) and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) before intervention (the day of discharge) and after intervention (the end of the last shared outpatient service). Results:After intervention, the dimension scores of worry, economics, body function, emotional function, health service, complication and total score of pLTQ were improved in tow groups than before intervention [the routine management group: (41.90±7.61), (18.13±4.22), (22.22±5.10), (14.92±3.28), (20.39±4.87), (14.63±3.99), and (132.19±37.09) vs (32.25±5.55), (12.77±3.47), (17.58±4.72), (9.23±1.38), (15.17±4.81), (10.89±1.51) and (98.00±29.03) score, t=8.20, 7.85, 3.58, 12.79, 6.10, 7.01, 5.81, all P<0.001; shared medical management group: (46.12±7.92), (24.16±5.34), (25.55±5.42), (17.90±3.60), (24.81±5.12), (17.93±3.60) and (155.47±41.00) vs (32.57±5.69), (12.81±3.82), (17.00±4.70), (9.60±1.39), (15.39±4.84), (11.00±3.52) and (98.37±28.96) score, t=10.76, 13.39, 9.23, 16.66, 10.36, 10.66, 8.81, all P<0.001], and those in the shared medical management group were higher than those in routine management group ( t=3.03, 6.95, 3.53, 4.82, 4.93, 4.83, 3.32, all P<0.05). After intervention, the total score of PSQI scale were lower than before intervention in the routine management group [(10.48±2.14) vs (11.89±2.45) score, t=3.47, P=0.001], and the dimensions score of sleep quality, full-sleep time, sleep time, sleep efficiency, sleep disorders, daytime function, hypnotic and total score of PSQI were lower than before intervention in the shared medical management group [(1.41±0.32), (0.54±0.13), (1.17±0.26), (1.11±0.35), (1.21±0.27), (1.30±0.33), (1.08±0.21) and (8.05±1.75) vs (1.88±0.53), (0.86±0.37), (1.84±0.41), (2.05±0.56), (1.39±0.33), (1.47±0.43), (1.22±0.32) and (11.71±2.43) score, t=-5.88, -6.32, -10.69, -11.03, -3.27, -2.43, -3.65, -9.47, all P<0.05], and those in the shared medical management group were lower than those in routine management group ( t=-6.68, -6.39, -10.43, -10.97, -2.62, -2.12, -3.54, -6.90, all P<0.05). Conclusion:Shared medical appointments model can improve the health-related quality of life and quality of sleep in patients after liver transplantation, and improve the effectiveness of outpatient intervention.
