Abstract:
Objective To explore the effects of WeChat-based peer education on improving special position compliance in patient after retinal detachment and to provide reference for clinical nursing staff.Methods Totally 82 patients after retinal detachment who were hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from March 2017 to April 2018 were selected by purposive sampling and randomly divided into the control group (n=41) and the intervention group (n=41) according to the random number table.Patients in the control group received conventional health education,while patients in the intervention group received WeChat-based peer education on the basis of conventional health education.The special position compliance and the incidence rate of complications 3 months post surgery were compared between the two groups.Their satisfaction with the WeChat-based peer education was also evaluated.Results The score of special position compliance in the intervention group was (5.23±0.854),higher than that of the control group (P＜0.01),which was (2.11±0.997).The incidence rate of nuchal muscle pain,headache,dizziness and insomnia caused by special positions in the intervention group was lower than that in the control group (P＜ 0.05).The patients' satisfaction with the WeChat-based peer education was 92.68%.Conclusions The WeChat-based peer education improves patients' awareness of diseases and enhance their confidence in recovery,thereby improving their special position compliance and accelerating recovery.
