Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of self-management health education on promoting the medical compliance of patients with metabolic syndrome. Methods Fifty-six patients with metabolic syn-drome were divided into the observation group and the control group at random, with 28 patients in each group. The self-management health education was only given to the observation group, the control group was given rou-tine instruction. After three months, the patients' medical compliance and the ecological parameters (fasting blood glucose, 2 hours' postprandial blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, triglyceride) were tested, the re-suits went through χ2 test and t test. Results The observation group had a better medical compliance than that of the control group, and the biochemieal parameters were greatly alleviated. Conclusions Nursing inter-vention is an ef-feetive measure to improve the medical compliance of patients with metabolic syndrome.
