Abstract:
Objective To explore the application effects of peer education on behavior intervention in female patients with overactive bladder (OAB).Methods A total of 111 cases with OAB were randomly divided into control group (55 cases) and experimental group (56 cases) since January 2015. The patients in the experimental group were treated with drugs combined with behavioral intervention from peers, while patients in the control group were given drug treatment combined with behavioral intervention from nurses. The improvement of micturition symptoms, quality of life (QOL) score and compliance in two groups of patients were compared.Results The patients' compliance in the experimental group was (25.23±2.24) score while it was (21.17±3.27) that in the control group (t=-7.764,P<0.01). Three months after intervention, the quality of life was (3.68±0.75) score in the experimental group and (2.67±0.69) score in the control group (P<0.01). The incidence of urinary frequency, urgency and nocturia of patients in the experimental group were lower than that in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusions Peer education is an acceptable behavior intervention model for OAB patients. Peer education model can improve the self-management ability and improve the quality of life for patients with OAB.
