Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of wechat-based transitional care in the acoustic neuroma patients with postoperative facial palsy.Methods 90 acoustic neuroma patients with postoperative facial palsy were randomly enrolled into 2 groups by tossing coin,45 cases in each group.Control group received routine discharge education,while the experimental group received wechat-based transitional care for three months.The rehabilitation adherence,the level of facial palsy,the ocular infection and the quality of life at patients discharged and three months after operation were compared between the two groups.Results Three months after operation,the cases of high,middle,low level of rehabilitation in the experimental group were 28,12,5,which were more than the control group whose cases were 15,21,9 (x2=7.528,P＜ 0.05).Facial palsy and the quality of life of the experimental group were 66.7％ (30/45) and (71.62±6.36) points,which was significantly higher than 42.4％ (19/45) and (63.75±11.28) points in the control group (x2=5.421 and 4.073,P ＜ 0.01).The incidence of ocular infection in the experimental group was 8.9％ (4/45) which was significantly lower than 31.1％ (14/45) in the control group (x2=6.671,P ＜0.05).Conclusions Wechat-based transitional care achieves good effectiveness in patients with postoperative facial palsy,which could improve the level of rehabilitation,facial palsy and the quality of life,and reduce the incidence of ocular infection,is worthy of promotion.
