Abstract:
Objective:To explore the implementation of the WeChat platform combined with family participation in the health management of dyslipidemia.
Methods:A total of 100 patients with dyslipidemia who underwent physical examination in the Health Management Center of Chongqing General Hospital from March to August 2017 were selected. Participants were divided into an intervention and control group by independent registration, with 50 patients in each group. The control group received routine health guidance and telephone follow-ups. The intervention group underwent the health management mode of the WeChat platform combined with family participation beginning in September for six months. Dyslipidemia was managed through joint participation of family members and medical care, and the professional health management and medical team conducted real-time consultation, monitoring, follow-ups, and answered questions. A t-test was performed to compare total cholesterol, triacylglycerol, and LDL cholesterol in the two groups, and a χ2 test was used to compare improvements in living habits in the two groups.
Results:There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups before intervention （P>0.05）. After 6 months of intervention, fasting total cholesterol (6.18±0.93) mmol/L, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (2.96±0.67) mmol/L and triglyceride (2.20±0.35) mmol/L were all lower in the intervention group than in the control group (7.17±1.07) mmol/L, (3.26±0.57) mmol/L and (2.41±0.36) mmol/L, respectively, with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). After 6 months of intervention, the proportion of people in the intervention group (18% irregular diet, 22% lack of exercise, 26% insomnia, 14% smoking and 18% drinking) was significantly lower than that in the control group (58% irregular diet, 74% lack of exercise, 54% insomnia, 38% smoking and 42% drinking), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).
Conclusions:Dyslipidemia is closely related to living habits. Through the help of the WeChat platform, family members and medical staff can participate together and effectively improve the living habits of people with dyslipidemia, so as to improve the indicators of lipid metabolism.
