痛风高危人群的健康教育

Health education in a population at high risk for gout

目的分析健康教育在痛风高危人群中的应用效果。方法选取痛风高危人群300例,随机分为干预组和对照组,各150例。干预组接受相关健康教育,对照组未接受健康教育,观察干预前及干预12个月后2组体质量指数(BMI)、尿酸、胆固醇及甘油三酯水平的变化。结果干预12个月后,2组胆固醇水平及干预组尿酸水平明显降低,对照组尿酸水平明显升高(P <0. 05);干预组尿酸水平显著低于对照组(P <0. 05)。结论定期进行健康教育有助于痛风高危人群养成良好的健康行为和生活习惯,提高其对痛风的认知水平,进而利于尿酸水平的降低。

Objective To analyze the application efficacy of health education in the high-risk population with gout.Methods Totally 300 high-risk people with gout were selected,and randomly divided into intervention group (n=150) and control group (n=150).The intervention group was given health education,while the control group was not given.The changes of body mass index (BMI) and levels of uric acid (UA),cholesterol and triglyceride were compared between two groups before and 12 months after intervention.Results Twelve months after intervention ,the cholesterol levels in two groups and UA level in intervention group went down,whereas the UA level in control group went up obviously (P<0.05); The UA level in intervention group was significantly lower than that in control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Regular health education can help the high-risk population with gout to have a good health behavior and life style,and improve their cognition on the gout,consequently leading to the decrease of UA level.
