开展社区糖尿病肾病中医健康教育的调查

Role of TCM in community health education of diabetic nephropathy

目的 探讨中医在社区糖尿病肾病（DN）患者健康教育中的作用。方法将124例糖尿病肾病患者分为两组各62例，观察组为自愿参加社区中医健康教育者，对照组未参加社区中医健康教育者，通过调查问卷，了解DN患者相关知识的掌握情况，以及对中医健康教育的需求和建议。结果观察组对DN知识了解程度明显高于教育前，治疗情况明显优于对照组（X^2=3．376，P〈0．01）。结论在社区DN人群中实施中医健康教育可有效提高患者对DN的认知程度，对DN的院外治疗有较好的推动作用。

Objective To discuss the role of traditional Chinese medicine in community health education of diabetic nephropathy （DN）. Methods 124 patients of DN were randomly recruited into an observation group and a control group, with 62 patients in each group. The patients in the observation group participated in TCM health care education voluntarily, while the patients in the control group did not take any TCM education health care. Questionnaires were used to investigate relative knowledge to DN and demands and suggestions to TCM education health care. Results Patients in the observation groups had an obviously better understanding to DN knowledge than before. The therapeutic effects in the observation group were significantly better than the control group （X^2：3.376, P〈0.01）. Conclusion The application of TCM health education in community DN patients will effectively enhance the cognition of the patients to DN, and will also promote the therapeutic effects of DN treatment outside hospital.
