Abstract:
Objective To explore the impact of WeChat-assisted follow-up on self-administer medication capability of stroke survivors.Methods Seventy patients were recruited from a tertiary hospital and randomly divided into intervention group (n=35) and control group (n=35).Patients in intervention group were given WeChat-assisted follow-up including health education program and behavior guidance,and patients in control group received regular discharge care.The effects of WeChat-assisted follow-up and regular care on self-administer medication ability,cognitive and behavior level were assessed.Results After three months' follow-up,the scores of self-administer medication capability (38 (32,42)),experience (25 (20,28) and the integral level (87 (71,92)) in intervention group were significantly higher than those in control group (capability 25(16,38),experience 21 (8.75,27),total score 68 (38,87)) (Z=-2.511,-2.033,-2.209,P＜0.05).The self-administer medication experience,cognitive,capability and total scores increased significantly in intervention group after intervention(Z=-4.525,-4.610,-3.806,-4.718,all P＜ 0.01),while only the cognitive level increased slightly in control group (18 (10,24) vs 13 (11,18),Z =-1.794,P=0.073).Conclusions Follow-up intervention based on WeChat platform can improve the stroke patients' self-administration medication capability,however,the long-term effects on cognitive level and further reform need to be strengthened.
