Abstract:
Objective To explore the effects of home care on pulmonary alveolar proteinosis patients. Methods The 24 cases of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis ( PAP) patients were divided into observation group and the control group on average. The patients of observation group received after discharge home care including health education, outpatient visits, telephone follow-up and on-site visits while the patients of control group had no this kind of interventions. Dyspnea index, six-minute walk test, pulmonary function tests and body mass index were compared between two groups after discharge. Results The dyspnea evaluation scores were (1. 31 ± 1. 07), (1. 29 ± 0. 62) and (1. 21 ± 0. 83) at 4, 8,12 weeks after discharged in the observation group and all were better than that of the control group (t=6. 438, 6. 897, 8. 572;P<0. 01). Six-minute walk test scores of observation group outbalanced scores in the control group at 4, 8,12 weeks after discharged (t=3. 214, 4. 316, 5. 673;P<0. 05). At 12 weeks after discharged,lung function of observation group were better than that of the control group(P<0. 05). The BMI differences between the two groups were not statistically significant(P>0. 05). Conclusions The implementation of home care can improve the PAP patients′ six-minute walk test distance and lung function, and reduce the patients with dyspnea index.
