Abstract:
Objective To explore the effects of transitional care intervention on ketogenic diet compliance among refractory epilepsy children post discharge. Methods From January to December 2017, we selected 80 epilepsy children at a Class Ⅲ Grade A hospital. All of the children were divided into observation group and control group according to the random number table, 40 cases in each group. Control group received conventional therapy and nursing. On this basis of that in control group, observation group carried out transitional care intervention. And then, we compared the ketogenic diet compliance and curative effect of children between two groups after intervention. Results After carrying out transitional care intervention three month, there were 33 and 25 cases with complete compliance of the ketogenic diet in observation group and control group respectively, with a statistical difference (χ2=4.012,P＜ 0.05). Six months after intervention, there were 19 and 4 cases with complete remission in observation group and control group respectively, with a statistical difference in curative effect (χ2=16.573,P＜0.05). Conclusions Transitional care intervention can improve ketogenic diet compliance among refractory epilepsy children and has a significant effect on the epilepsy control with strong feasibility.
