Effect of Peer Education on Living Habits of Patients with Metabolic Syndrome

目的探讨同伴教育对代谢综合征患者生活习惯的影响,为开展代谢综合征患者健康教育提供科学依据。方法将87例代谢综合征患者随机分为观察组(38例)和对照组(49例)。对照组由责任护士进行常规健康教育;观察组在此基础上,由经过严格培训的同伴教育者实施健康教育,以集体教育及个体床旁教育相结合,连续4周。结果干预后2个月、6个月观察组饮用白酒的欲望显著低于对照组,参与体育运动频率显著优于对照组(均P<0.05)。结论同伴教育对于改变代谢综合征患者不良生活习惯有显著作用。

Objective To evaluate the effect of peer education on the living habits of patients with metabolic syndrome, and to provide scientific basis for health education for them. Methods Totally,87 patients with metabolic syndrome were divided randomly into an observational group （38 cases） and a control group （49 cases）. Patients in the control group were subjected to conventional health education, while their counterparts in the observational group received peer health education, namely that peer educators were selected and trained strictly, and they conducted education to the patients through group education and individual education. The intervention persisted for 4 weeks. Results Two or six months after intervention, the desire of drinking wine in the observational group was significantly lower than that of the control group, and the observational group attended more frequent physical exercises than the control group （P〈0.05 for both）. Conclusion Peer education has a certain advantage in changing the bad living habits of patients with metabolic syndrome.
