The patients were divided into the observation group (80 cases) and the control group (82 cases) by random number method. In the control group, routine discharge education, release of education manual and regular telephone follow-up were carried out. Observation group based on the conventional discharge, by the continuity of care team to three times a week, for a period of six months WeChat platform continuity nursing intervention, the specific mission includes pancreatitis disease related knowledge, the matters needing attention after discharge, and the content such as recurrence, and weekly WeChat online interactive answering questions. The disease recurrence, readmission rate, rehospitalization days at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months after discharge between the two groups.
Results:There was no significant difference in the disease recurrence, readmission rate, rehospitalization days between the two groups at 1 month, 2 months after discharge (P > 0.05). The disease recurrence of the observation group was 11.25% (9/80) and 26.25% (21/80) at 3 months and 6 months after discharge, respectively, which was lower than that of the control group 23.17% (19/82) and 43.90% (36/82), with statistically significant differences (χ2=4.025, 5.533, P < 0.05). The readmission rate of the observation group was 8.75% (7/80) and 21.25% (17/80) at 3 months and 6 months after discharge, respectively, which was lower than that of the control group 23.17% (19/82) and 41.46% (34/82), with statistically significant differences (χ2=6.250, 7.670, P < 0.05 or 0.01). The rehospitalization days of the observation group at 3 months and 6 months after discharge was (12.18±4.20) and (12.48±4.16) points, respectively, which was less than that of the control group (15.08±4.91) and (15.34±4.48) points, with statistically significant differences (t=-4.685, -4.638, P < 0.05).
