Abstract
Objective: Patients with gout commonly face issues such as insufficient disease awareness and poor management outcomes. The innovative introduction of theme-based nursing education aims to enhance patients' disease awareness, reduce acute attacks, and improve quality of life.
Methods: This study is a randomized controlled trial, A total of 72 patients with gout admitted to Beijing Chaoyang Hospital between 1 January 2023 and 31 November 2023 were randomly divided into the intervention group and the traditional nursing health education group. The traditional nursing health education group received traditional nursing health education, whereas the intervention group received theme-based nursing education. Both groups were continuously nursed for 12 weeks. Disease cognition, blood uric acid levels, QoL and frequency of acute attacks were assessed before and after the intervention. Statistical analysis was conducted using independent sample t-tests for between-group comparisons and paired t-tests for within-group comparisons.
Results: After the intervention, the gout knowledge score in the intervention group was significantly higher than that in the traditional nursing health education group. The blood uric acid level at 12 weeks in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the traditional nursing health education group, and the blood uric acid compliance rate was significantly higher than that in the traditional nursing health education group. The intervention group scored higher in four dimensions of the SF-36 scale: physical function, bodily pain, general health and vitality. The frequency of acute attacks in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the traditional nursing health education group.
Conclusion: Theme-based nursing education demonstrated superior outcomes in enhancing disease cognition, controlling blood uric acid, improving QoL and reducing acute attacks compared with traditional nursing health education.
期刊介绍：
Patient Preference and Adherence is an international, peer reviewed, open access journal that focuses on the growing importance of patient preference and adherence throughout the therapeutic continuum. The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of reviews, original research, modeling and clinical studies across all therapeutic areas. Patient satisfaction, acceptability, quality of life, compliance, persistence and their role in developing new therapeutic modalities and compounds to optimize clinical outcomes for existing disease states are major areas of interest for the journal.
As of 1st April 2019, Patient Preference and Adherence will no longer consider meta-analyses for publication.
