Objective To investigate and analyze the health education requirement in migrant-worker patients and establish health education countermeasures that accord with migrant-worker pa-tients. Methods 600 hospitalization patients were chosen from January to December, 2007,among which 300 migrant-worker patients were set as the experimental group,300 native patients were selected as the control group.The contents and manners of health education requirement were compared between the two groups. Results In the aspect of contents of health education requirement,the highest require-ment was to understand treatment expense,which was significantly higher than that of the control group. The higher requirement included to understand illness condition and treatment protocols,prevention and treatment of common disease and infectious disease.In the aspect of manners of health education require-ment,the highest requirement was to communicate with medical workers,the lowest requirement was to communicate among patients. Conclusions Migrant-worker patients concern about treatment expense, nurses should not only conduct health education about disease-related knowledge, but also pay much atten-tion to informed consent about treatment expense in order to avoid unnecessary dispute.
