Abstract:
Objective? To explore the effect of WeChat-based information support in patients with bronchial asthma. Methods? Using convenient sampling method, 100 cases of bronchial asthma patients admitted to Shangqiu First People's Hospital from June 2014 to December 2016 were selected as the research objects. The selected patients were divided into observation group and control group by random number table method, 50 cases in each group. The control group was given routine out-of-hospital guidance when discharged, on the basis of that, the observation group was given transitional nursing based on WeChat information support. The control of asthma at discharge and 6 months after intervention [assessed by Asthma Control Test Table (ACT)], quality of life (assessed by Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ)], total compliance rate of medication during 6 months of intervention, recurrence rate, number of acute episode and number of hospitalizations were compared between the two groups. Results? There was no significant difference in ACT score and AQLQ score between the two groups at discharge (P＞0.05). After intervention for 6 months, the ACT and AQLQ scores of the two groups increased compared with those at discharge,the differences were statistical (P＜ 0.05). The scores of ACT and AQLQ in the observation group were (22.98±3.11) and (133.14±12.35) respectively, higher than those in the control group, which were (20.50±3.05) and (116.24±11.87), respectively, and the differences were statistical (P＜0.01). The total compliance rate of the observation group was 86% during the 6-month intervention period, which was higher than 68% of the control group with statistical difference (P＜ 0.05). The recurrence rate, the number of acute episodes and the number of hospitalizations in the observation group [10%, (0.45±0.20) and (0.30±0.14)times ]were lower than those in the control group [26.00%, (1.04±0.38) times and (0.89±0.33) times], and the differences between the two groups were statistical (P＜0.05). Conclusions? Information support based on WeChat can provide comprehensive guidance for the work and life of patients with tracheal asthma after discharge, effectively control their condition, improve their quality of life and medication compliance, and reduce the recurrence rate.
