Abstract:
Objective To investigate the influence of health education on nutritional therapy knowledge of guardians of children with nephrotic syndrome,and help guardians to manage the disease better.Methods Seventy guardians of children with nephrotic syndrome were chosen by convenience sampling and divided into two groups:the intervention group and the control group,each with 35 cases.The control group received conventional nursing,while the intervention group received systematized health education.Selfdesigned questionnaire was used to conduct interview at the admission and the discharge.Results Guardians' level of nutritional therapy knowledge was relatively low (score indicator:49.44％).The level was higher in the intervention group than in the control group[(20.57 ±2.16) vs (16.71 ±2.53)],and the difference was statistically significant (t =6.865,P ＜ 0.05).Guardians' awareness rates of hypoproteinemia,hypercholesterolemia,soil moisture,heat,vitamin and protein were 82.9％,80.0％,100.0％,88.6％,57.1％ and 75.8％ in the intervention group,higher than 14.3％,25.7％,85.7％,48.6％,31.4％ and 24.2％ in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Health education can effectively improve the nutritional therapy knowledge level of guardians of children with nephrotic syndrome.
