ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the effect of health education based on interactive 3D-modeling of intracranial artery on interventional diagnosis and treatment for patients with intracranial artery stenosis.Methods A total of 70 patients requiring interventional diagnosis and treatment due to intracranial artery stenosis admitted to our department in 2022 were enrolled,and randomly divided into observation group and control group,with 35 cases in each group.Their stenotic sites of intracranial arteries included the vertebral and middle cerebral arteries.The observation group received the preoperative conventional education mode combined with interactive 3D-modeling to carry out health education,while the control group got the unified education sheet and slides to carry out routine preoperative health education.A self-made publicity and education effectiveness rating scale was used to score before and after the publicity and education,and their scores of awareness of intracranial artery stenosis,awareness of treatment plans,and satisfaction with medical treatment were compared between the 2 groups.Results Before the health education,there was no statistical differences in their awareness scores concerning intracranial vessels(normal intracranial arteries,intracranial arterial occlusion,and vascular stenosis treatment)between the 2 groups patients.After the implementation of education,the awareness scores of intracranial vessels were elevated in both groups,but the awareness scores of the normal intracranial artery,intracranial artery occlusion,vascular stenosis treatment,and treatment satisfaction were significantly higher in the observation group than the control group(P＜0.05).Moreover,the patients with middle cerebral artery and vertebral artery stenosis from the observation group obtained obviously higher propaganda score than those from the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The health education model combined with 3D-modeling can improve the patient's awareness of the diagnosis and treatment of intracranial artery stenosis,promote their satisfaction of medical treatment,and thus increase their compliance and the rate of interventional diagnosis and treatment,and then finally,prevent strokes caused by intracranial artery stenosis.
