ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effects of intensive health education on psychological stress of outpatients with chronic HBV infection. Methods A convenient sample of 80 patients was selected as the subjects of the study. They were randomly allocated to the control and the intervention group with 40 patients in each group. The intervention group received intensive heath education, which was designed spe-cially by researcher, while the control group just received the routine clinic health education. Demographic Data Recording Form (DDRF) and the Perceived Stress Scale specific to Hepatitis B Patients (PSSH) were used to assess the intervention effect pre-treatment and 3 months after intervention. Results The scores of PSSH were high in two groups before intervention. Compared with the control group, the intensive health education decreased the score of PSSH more significantly in the intervention group. Conclusions The intensive heath education can reduce the psychological stress of the outpatients with chronic HBV infection.
