Abstract: Objective To investigate the influence of self-management education(SME)on the selfmanagement ability and self-efficacy of patients with peripherally inserted central catheters(PICC).Methods Sixty patients with PICC were randomly divided into SME group(n=32)and control group(n=28).Patients in the SME group took SME and the control group received routine nursing;both lasted six months.The self-management ability(including self-management action,health status,catheter function,utility of health service)and selfefficacy were compared between these two groups.Results Except the scores of communication with the nurse (P=0.618),health status(P=0.083),and pain(P=0.069),the other indicators of self-management ability in the SME group had significantly higher scores than those in control group(all P<0.05).The incidence of complications was significantly lower(P=0.038)and the self-efficacy was significantly higher in SME group(P=0.012).Conclusion SME can improve the self-management ability and self-efficacy and prevent the catheter-related complications in patients with PICC.
