Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effects of fire therapy combined with moxibustion nursing on pain, quality of life and self-efficacy in osteoporosis patients.Methods:From October 2018 to October 2019, we selected 120 osteoporosis patients admitted to Xi'an Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine as research objects by convenience sampling. All patients were divided into two groups with the method of random number table. A total of 60 cases in control group were given routine nursing care, while 60 cases in experimental group were treated with fire therapy combined with moxibustion nursing on this basis. Pain, quality of life and self-efficacy of two groups before and after nursing were compared with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) , World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief Questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF) and the Chinese version of Osteoporosis Self-efficacy Scale.Results:After intervention, the score of VAS of patients in experimental group was (4.01±0.50) lower than that (4.92±0.53) in control group with a statistical difference ( P<0.05) ; the total score of WHOQOL-BREF of experimental group was (80.09±17.65) higher than that (63.08±17.42) of control group also with a statistical difference ( P<0.05) ; scores of exercise self-efficacy and calcium intake self-efficacy of experimental group were (83.98±12.28) and (88.11±10.33) respectively all higher than those [ (70.10±12.12) and (73.36±11.16) ]of control group with statistical differences ( P<0.05) .
