Abstract:
Objective To investigate the impacts of graphic health education on postoperative functional recovery of elderly with intertrochanteric fractures. Methods A total of 72 elderly patients, who admitted to hospital with intertrochanteric fractures from March 2012 to March 2013, were divided into observation group and control group by random number table;health education for patients and their families in the observation group were based on graphics cards done by nurse, while patients and their families of the control group underwent conventional health education. Two groups were compared in operative time, healing time, Harris score and other indexes, health education awareness score and satisfaction rate. Results The healing time of observation group were (14.1±0.9) w and (14.5±1.1) w in the control group (t=1.6886,P>0.05), while Harris score were (13. 2 ± 3. 2) point in the observation group higher than (9. 6 ± 2. 8) point in the control group (t=5. 079 9,P<0. 01). Health education awareness score of observation group were (88. 7 ± 10. 8) point higher than (73. 2 ± 11. 2) point of the control group (t=5. 977 3,P<0. 01);the satisfaction with nursing work was 94. 4% in the observation group comparing with 77. 7% in the control group (P<0. 05). Conclusions Graphics health education can improve the awareness of intertrochanteric fractures and patient satisfaction among elderly, and is conducive to functional recovery, which is worthy of clinical application.
