[Application of a remote occupational health management model combining cluster management and individualized guidance in the treatment of pneumoconiosis].

Abstract

Objective: To explore the effects of the "group+individual" combined internet occupational health management model on the physiological indicators, pulmonary imaging changes and self-management ability of people with pneumoconiosis. Methods: In November 2022, patients diagnosed with pneumoconiosis in Baotou city from January 2012 to January 2022 were selected. Eighty cases exhibiting a decline in forcect expiratory volume in one second (FEV(1)) and pulmonary imaging changes (primarily ground-glass opacity variations) were chosen as study subjects. These patients were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group using the sealed envelope method, with 40 patients in each group. The control group received conventional outpatient follow-up and occupational health surveillance management, while the experimental group underwent a remote occupational health management model combining "group+individual" approaches over 12 months, with interventions administered once every 3 months. Comparative analysis was conducted on pre-and pos-management indicators between the two groups, including pulmonary function, pulmonary imaging changes, and self-management ability scores. Results: After occupational health management, the experimental group showed superior improvement in observed indicators (including pulmonary function and pulmonary imaging indicators) compared to the control group (P<0.05). The self-management ability scores of the experimental group after occupational health management were also better than those of the control group (all P<0.05) . Conclusion: The remote occupational health management model combining group management and individualized guidance, when applied to patients with pneumoconiosis, is beneficial for improving their physiological indicators, pulmonary imaging indicators, and enhancing self-management abilities.
