Abstract:
Objective To explore the application and effects of bone lengthening growth diary in self management of patients after lower limb lengthening. Methods A total of 54 cases applying lower limb lengthening were divided into the experimental group (n=28) and the control group (n=26) with random digit table. The basic treatment was consistent, the control group was given routine guidance, the experi-mental group implemented self- management with bone lengthening growth diary. Self- recognition of disease was assessed and compared between the two groups 12 weeks after operation. Self- efficacy and self- manage ment were assessed and compared between the two groups 2 and 12 weeks after operation. Results The self- recognition of disease in the observation group was better than that of the control group, for patients with higher self- recognition degree (21 cases vs. 10 cases), χ2=8.64, P<0.05, the difference was significantly different. The total scores of self- efficacy and self- management in the observation group were higher than those of the control group,(48. 42±3.43) vs.(34.14±4.13),t=11.750, P<0.01;(55.35±2.69) vs.(42.15±3.67), t=15.130, P<0.01, the difference was significantly different. Conclusions Bone lengthening growth diary plays a beneficial role on self-management of patients with lower limb lengthening.
