Application of PRECEDE-PROCEED Model in Health Education of Young and Middle-Aged with Lumbar Disc Herniation

Abstract

To explore the effect of the PRECEDE-PROCEED model (the health professional’s ability to apply theories of health behavior) in health education for young and middle-aged patients with lumbar disc herniation. Ninety patients with lumbar disc herniation admitted to our hospital from January 2020 to October 2022 were selected and divided into the control group (n=45) and the observation group (n=45) according to the random number table. The patients in the control group received routine Chinese medicine health education. The patients in the observation group received Chinese medicine health education in the PRECEDE-PROCEED model. The scores of chronic pain self-efficacy, compliance rate, visual analog scale score, and lumbar Japanese orthopedic association score of the two groups were compared. After nursing, the self-efficacy score of chronic pain in the observation group was better than that in the control group (p<0.05); the compliance rate of 95.56 % in the observation group was higher than that of 80 % in the control group (p<0.05); visual analog scale score of patients in the observation group was lower than that in the control group and Japanese orthopedic association score of lumbar vertebrae was higher than that in the control group (p<0.05). PRECEDE-PROCEED model can improve the compliance of young and middle-aged patients with lumbar disc herniation, reduce the occurrence of disease pain, and promote the treatment of lumbar disc herniation.
