Objective To investigate impact of nursing intervention on medication compliance in lung transplant patients.Methods A total of 46 lung transplant patients from April 2011 to December 2013 were divided into the experimental group(n =23) and the control group (n =23) by operation order.The control group received routine care,while on the basis of it,the experimental group received nursing intervention based on the result of blood concentration.Results The medication adherence after 6 months of the operation between the two groups had no significant differences (P >0.05).After 12 months of intervention,21 patients (91.30%) in the experimental group complied with the medication,18 patients (78.26%) in the control group complied with the medication.There was significant difference between the two groups (x2 =8.641,P < 0.05).The blood concentrations after 6 months of the operation between the two groups had no significant differences (P > 0.05).After 12 months,the blood concentrations of the experimental group was (13.15 ± 3.14) ng/L,which was significantly higher than that of the control group (t =7.658,P < 0.05).Conclusions Nursing intervention can effectively improve medication compliance of lung transplant patients.Establishing a good nurse-patient relationship,strengthening health education,doing repeated training and condition changes of patients is the key point to improve medication compliance of lung transplant patients.

Objective To explore the impact of medication self-management module on medication compliance of patients after lung transplantation.Methods Totals of 48 patients were divided into experimental group ( n=24 ) and control group ( n =24 ) .The control group received conventional treatment and nursing care.The experimental group received medication self-management module on the basis of conventional treatment and nursing care.Results Compared the two groups after 12 months, medication compliance of experimental group was 87.50%, and that of control group was 79.17%, significant difference was found between two groups (χ2 =8.641,P<0.05).Blood drug concentration and 6MWT of experimental group was (10.78 ± 2.61)ng/L and (324.15 ±23.91) m,respectively, higher than that in control group (8.64 ±2.03) ng/L and (291.58 ±20.84) m, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( t=8.143,7.852, respectively;P<0.05).Conclusions Medication self-management module can solve the patient’ s medication problem and improve the compliance of lung transplant patients,so it is suitable for clinical application.
