ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the effects of the application of grading health education path for the patients with PICC catheter in hematology department. Methods From March to October 2016,a total of 101 patients with PICC catheter in hematology department were recruited and randomly divided into the experimental group (50 cases) and the control group (51 cases) according to different nursing groups. The control group was implemented traditional health education mode while the experimental group was implemented health education path in stages. The disease related knowledge and the PICC catheter maintenance knowledge, satisfaction of health education and the incidence of catheter related complications after intervention between the two groups were compared. Results About the PICC catheter maintenance knowledge, the experimental group got scores 80-100, a median of 95, a rank 76.38 on average, while the control group30-80, a median of 50, the average rank 26.12, which indicated statistical significance (χ2=76.618,P<0.01). Satisfaction scores the experimental group got scores 70-100, a median of 100, a rank 73.80 on average, the control group 30-100, a median of 70, the average rank 28.65, the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group (χ2=63.364,P<0.01). For the catheter-related complications, the experimental group was 2.00％(1/50), while 15.69％(8/51) in the control group, there was statistically significant (χ2=4.262,P < 0.05). Conclusions Implementing the grading health education path for patients with PICC catheter can obviously improve the patients of PICC catheter maintenance knowledge and satisfaction with respect to the manner of health education, at the same time can reduce the related complications of catheter.
