Abstract:
Objective To explore the effects of community nursing intervention on uncertainty in illness and treatment of patients with epilepsy disease.Methods 112 discharged epilepsy patients were divided into research group(n=56) and control group randomly (n=56). Research group was treated with community nursing intervention, and control group was treated with routine nursing care. Effects were evaluated by scales of illness uncertainty (MUIS), Epilepsy clinical standards, and self-made treatment compliance standards one year after discharge.Results Scores of illness uncertainty before intervention between the two groups were not different (t=0.89,P>0.05); scores of illness uncertainty in research group were lower than control group after intervention, and the differences have reached the statistical significance (t=11.12,P<0.01). Treatment compliance, self-manage ability of medicine and satisfactory on pills and clinical effects in research group were better than those in control group (χ2=22.07,60.00,16.57,24.75,23.83;P<0.01).Conclusions Community nursing intervention could increase the treatment compliance of epilepsy patient, decrease the recurrence of disease and the illness uncertainty.
