Effect of nursing intervention based on protection motivation theory on medication compliance and quality of life in elderly Parkinson patients / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the effect of nursing intervention based on protection motivation theory on medication compliance and quality of life in elderly patients with Parkinson′s disease.Methods:From August 2017 to August 2018, 60 elderly patients with Parkinson′s disease were selected. The patients were randomly divided into the control group ( n = 30) and the intervention group ( n = 30). In the control group, the routine nursing model was adopted, and the intervention group accepted the nursing intervention based on the protection motivation theory. Two groups of patients were investigated by using medication compliance scale and the 39-item Parkinson′s Disease Questionnaire. Results:Three months after the intervention, 86.67%(26/30) of the patients in the intervention group and 33.33%(10/30) of the patients in the control group had good compliance with the drug, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2 value was 17.778, P < 0.05). The total scores of quality of life and scores of physical activity, daily life behavior, mental health, humiliation, social support, cognition, communication and physical discomfort in the intervention group were 26.20±3.12, 4.00±0.76, 4.87±1.19, 2.33±0.72, 1.93±0.17, 2.80±0.86, 4.40±1.12, 2.27±0.80, 3.27±1.10, the scores in the control group were 39.20±2.88, 7.40±1.12, 7.13±0.83, 3.80±0.68, 2.87±0.64, 4.27±0.96, 5.20±0.68, 3.73±0.70, 5.07±0.80, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t value was -2.366-11.849, P <0.05). Conclusion:Nursing intervention based on the protection motivation theory can improve the compliance of elderly patients with Parkinson's disease and their quality of life.
