RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the effect of mind mapping health education on the compliance behavior in patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH) undergone surgery treatment.Methods A total of 68 LDH patients expected to surgery treatment were selected as objects of study,with 34 patients respectively in the control group and experimental group,the control group had undergone the nursing routine for LDH,while the experimental group had received the Mind-Map health education on the bases of routine care.Data were collected at the time point of admission to hospital,time to discharge,1 month and 6 months after discharge by the tools of questionnaire of the knowledge and LDH compliance and SF-36 scale.Results The scores of questionnaire of the knowledge for the experimental group at the time point of discharge,1 month and 6 months after discharge were (52.38 ± 6.99),(52.68 ± 7.87),(51.03 ±8.55) points,which were higher than those in the control group of (24.79 ± 3.33),(25.18 ± 2.87),(23.41 ±3.54) points,the differences were statistically significant (t =27.59,27.50,27.62,P＜ 0.01).The scores of compliance questionnaire for the experimental group at the time point of lmonth and 6 months after discharge were (71.47 ± 16.62),(66.82 ± 20.11) points,which were higher than those in the control group of (43.32 ± 17.70),(49.35 ± 14.17) points,the differences were statistically significant(t=28.15,13.82,P＜ 0.01).Within groups,the scores of SF-36 scale of each group at the point of 6 months after charge were higher than at the point of admission,the differences were statistically significant (t =2.53-11.41,P＜0.05).Among groups,the differences of SF-36 scale scores at the point of admission of two groups were not statistically significant (P＞ 0.05),while the SF-36 scale scores of experimental at the point of 6months after discharge were apparently higher than that of control group,and the differences were statistically significant (t =1.70-5.68,P＜ 0.05).Conclusions Mind mapping health education can broaden patients' knowledge to LDH,improve the compliance to medical stuff,thus promote the recovery of LDH and improve the quality of life.
