ABSTRACT

Objective:

To analyze the effect of implementing information-motivation-behavior skill model (IMB) home care in elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Methods:

From October 2017 to October 2018, patients with COPD who were discharged after treatment in Wuxi Fifth People′s Hospital were included and divided into control group and observation group by block randomization method. The control group was given routine health education, discharge guidance and follow-up guidance after discharge. The observation group received the information-motivation-behavior home care based on IMB. The general information before intervention, the level of disease cognition, quality of life before and after the intervention and the health behavior after the intervention were compared between the two groups.

Results:

The Bristol COPD Knowledge Questionnaire (BCKQ) score in the observation group was higher than that in the control group [(58.36±6.68) vs. (52.14±5.80) points] ( P<0.05). The scores of physical activity, health responsibility, stress management, nutrition, and spiritual growth in the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile-Ⅱ (HPLR-Ⅱ) after the intervention in the observation group were higher than those in the control group [(26.01±3.95) vs. (23.25±3.48) points, (38.65±4.33) vs. (34.64±4.05) points, (16.98±2.51) vs. (14.20±1.80) points, (19.87±2.20) vs. (15.65±3.51) points, (20.32±2.85) vs. (17.35±2.89) points] ( P<0.05). The symptoms, mobility, and disease impact scores of the St George′s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) in the observation group were lower than those in the control group [(40.32±4.30) vs. (45.36±4.50) points, (43.21±4.87) vs.(45.33±4.25) points, (38.41±4.37) vs. (42.35±4.01) points] (all P<0.05).

Conclusion:

Implementing the home care model based on IMB in elderly patients with COPD can improve patients′ disease awareness and improve their health behaviors and quality of life.
