Application of a self-help health website to thoracic surgery cancer patients

目的自主开发并应用健康教育网站,以提高患者健康教育效果。方法将80例胸外科住院肿瘤患者按照入院时间分为对照组与观察组各40例,对照组采用传统健康教育方法,观察组使用自助式健康教育网站进行健康教育。比较两组实施后疾病不确定感、教育知识知晓率,并收集观察组患者对网站的使用评价。结果实施后,观察组疾病不确定感评分显著低于对照组,熟悉咳痰和腹式呼吸方法率显著高于对照组(P<0.05,P<0.01);95.0%观察组患者认为教育网站使用方便并表示居家期间仍会继续使用。结论自助式健康教育网站使用方便,能够有效改善患者住院期间健康教育效果,降低患者疾病不确定感。

Objective To design a website for health education and to enhance the effect of patient health education.Methods Eighty cancer patients hospitalized in the department of thoracic surgery were divided chronologically into a control group to receive traditional health education and an intervention group to use a self-designed website supporting self-directed learning.Uncertainty in illness and awareness of disease knowledge between the two groups were compared,and patient′s evaluation of the website was also collected.Results The uncertainty in illness was significantly lower,whereas the awareness rate of expectoration and abdominal respiration was significantly higher in the intervention group compared with the control group(P<0.05,P<0.01).Ninety-five percent of patients in the intervention group reported the website was user-friendly and would continue to use it after discharge.Conclusion The self-help health website is easy to use,which can effectively improve health education effect and reduce uncertainty in illness.
