Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effect of case management model based on WeChat on self-care ability and condition status of patients with chronic nephritis.Methods:From January 2020 to February 2022, convenience sampling was used to select 110 patients with chronic nephritis who were treated in the Department of Nephrology, Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University. The patients were divided into groups according to the different wards they lived in. The control group consisted of inpatients in the first ward and the research group of inpatients in the second ward, with 55 patients in each group. The control group received routine continuous nursing guidance, while the research group adopted the case management model based on WeChat on the basis of the control group. We compared the self-care ability, negative emotions, and renal function between the two groups.Results:Before nursing, the scores of the Elderly Self-Care Ability Scale (ESCA), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and the indicators of renal function [serum creatinine (Scr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and 24 hours urine protein (24 h UP) ] were compared between the two groups, and the differences were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). After nursing, ESCA scores such as health knowledge, self-care skills, self-care responsibility, and self-concept in the two groups were higher than those before nursing, and those of the research group were higher than those of the control group, with statistical differences ( t=4.650, 2.250, 3.052, 3.434; all P<0.05). The GAD-7 score and PHQ-9 score of the two groups after nursing were lower than those before nursing, and those of the research group were lower than those of the control group, with statistically significant differences ( t=8.207, 3.464; all P<0.05). After nursing, the renal function indicators such as SCR, BUN, and 24 h UP in the two groups were lower than before nursing, and those of the research group were lower than those of the control group, with statistically significant differences ( t=2.831, 2.797, 2.228; all P<0.05) . Conclusions:Applying the case management model based on WeChat to patients with chronic nephritis can improve their self-care ability, alleviate their negative emotions, promote improvement in their condition.
