Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effect of "Transitional care on WeChat" mode on self-management ability and rehospitalization rate of heart failure patients.Methods:A total of 130 patients with chronic heart failure in Beijing Luhe Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January to July 2019 were selected as the research subjects by convenience sampling method. All the subjects were divided into experimental group ( n=65) and control group ( n=65) according to the time of hospitalization. The control group was given routine nursing, and the experimental group was given "Transitional care on WeChat". The Self-management Knowledge Scale and Self-Care of Heart Failure Index (SCHFI) were used to evaluate the patients' self-management ability at the time of admission, 1 month after discharge and 3 months after discharge, to compare the self management ability and rehospitalization rate between the two groups. Results:At last, 62 patients in the experimental group and 59 patients in the control group completed the study. There was no statistically significant difference in Self-management Knowledge Scale and SCHFI between the two groups at admission ( P>0.05) . At 1 and 3 months after discharge, the scores of Self-management Knowledge Scale and SCHFI of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01) . Within 3 months after discharge, the rehospitalization rate of the control group was higher than that of the experimental group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:"Transitional care on WeChat" is convenient, professional and highly operable. It can improve the self-management ability of heart failure patients and reduce the rehospitalization rate.
