Objective:To investigate the influence of peer education based on WeChat support on the social support, mental flexibility and rehabilitation self-efficacy of patients after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.Methods:A total of 82 patients after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy who were admitted from January 2018 to December 2019 were selected as the research objects. According to the operation time, they were divided into the treatment group (January 2019-December 2019) with 43 cases and the control group (January 2018-December 2018) with 39 cases. The control group was given regular health education, and the treatment group jointly applied peer education based on WeChat support. Followed up for 2 months, the two groups of patients were evaluated the degree of social support, psychological flexibility, and rehabilitation self-efficacy by Social Support Rating Scale, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale and compared.Results:There was no significant difference in the degree of social support, psychological flexibility, and rehabilitation self-efficacy before intervention between the two groups( P>0.05). The objective support, support utilization, and social support scores in the treatment group after intervention were (9.12±1.12), (10.45 ± 0.75), (32.49 ± 4.56) points, and the control group were (7.45 ± 1.36), (8.74 ± 1.43), (29.84 ± 4.45) points, and the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 6.091, 6.681, 2.658, P<0.01). The scores of toughness, self-improvement, optimism, and mental resilience in the treatment group after intervention were (28.21 ± 4.25), (20.32 ± 3.54), (9.36 ± 1.12), and (57.89 ± 7.21) points, and the control group were (24.36 ± 4.34), (17.14 ± 3.21), (7.84 ± 1.23), (49.34 ± 6.55) points, and the differences were statistically significant( t values were 4.056-5.857, P<0.01). The scores of physical exercise self-efficacy, coping self-efficacy, and rehabilitation self-efficacy in the treatment group after intervention were (43.43 ± 5.38), (54.45 ± 6.32), (97.88 ± 7.45) points, and the control group were (37.45 ± 5.42), (48.65 ± 6.45), (86.10 ± 9.12) points, and the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 5.009, 4.110, 6.430, P<0.01). Conclusions:Peer education based on WeChat support helps to enhance the degree of social support for patients after laparoscopic prostate cancer surgery, improve the level of mental flexibility, and promote the development of rehabilitation self-efficacy.
