Application of health education in patients with coronary heart disease complicated diabetes mellitus / 心血管康复医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the application value of health education in patients with coronary heart disease(CHD) complicated diabetes mellitus(DM).Methods:A total of 72 CHD+DM patients were selected from our hospital.According to order of archives,they were divided into routine education group(n=36)and CLT group(n=36,received CLT-based health education intervention based on routine health education).Both groups were followed up after three-month interven-tion.Levels of fasting blood glucose(FBG)and 2h postprandial glucose(2hPG),scores of self-efficacy and quality of life (QOL)were measured and compared between two groups before and after intervention.Results:Compared with before in-tervention,after intervention,there were significant reductions in levels of FBG and 2hPG,and significant rise in scores of self-efficacy and QOL in two groups,P=0.001 all.Compared with routine education group after intervention,there were significant reductions in levels of FBG[(7.74 ± 0.81)mmol/L vs.(5.94 ± 0.46)mmol/L]and 2hPG[(9.16 ± 0.89)mmol/L vs.(7.41 ± 0.40)mmol/L],and significant rise in scores of self-efficacy[(46.56 ± 3.71)scores vs.(58.67 ± 4.58) scores]and QOL[(63.88 ± 4.86)scores vs.(76.55 ± 5.22)scores]in CLT group,P=0.001 all.Conclusion:Health educa-tion can effectively reduce blood glucos level,improve self-efficacy and quality of life in patients with coronary heart disease complicated diabetes mellitus,which is worth extending.
