Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the influence of empowerment education on self-management ability and self-efficacy of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).Methods 190 patients with CHD were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group.And all patients were trained respectively according to corresponding health education plan of each group by professional worker.These patients filled out the Essential Information Questionnaire (EIQ),Self-Efficacy Integration Scale (SEIS) and Coronary Artery Disease Self-management Scale(CSMS) at baseline,3 months and 6 months after health education.The clinical indexes in two groups such as body mass index,waistline,blood pressure,blood glucose and blood lipid were contrasted.Results The score of self-management ability and the score of self-efficacy in the experimental group was significantly more than that of the control group in 3 months and 6 months after health education,and this difference between two groups still persisted 6 months after health education.However,the score of symptom-maintaining in the SEIS and self-management of addiction,emergency,lifestyle and knowledge of diseases in the CSMS appeared to drop in the control group.Conclusions Empowerment education can significantly improve and increase the self-management ability and self-efficacy of patients with CHD,and this function of empowerment education was proved more enduring than that of traditional health education.So,empowerment education will be a new style of health education in the new model of clinical medicine instead of traditional health education.
