Abstract:
Objective To observe the influence of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) in teaching patients with cervical spondylosis about their disease.Methods A hundred cervical spondylosis patients were assigned according to their admission order into an experimental or a control group.The control group received conventional health education and health education materials, including oral health education.With the intervention group,the TPB was used to design their nursing, and they received behavioral intervention addressing attitude, subjective norms and behavior control.Both groups were assessed for the degree of pain using a six-point pain score, health behavior, and recurrence, before the experiment and after 6 months.Results After six months both groups had significantly improved pain scores, but the average improvement in the intervention group was significantly greater.Their health behavior was also significantly better except for the prevention of pharyngeal infection and keeping warm.Conclusions The TPB can significantly relieve the pain and improve the health behavior of spondylosis patients, and reduce the recurrence rate.
