Abstract

This study explored the clinical effects of WeChat-based peri-operative care on parents of children with congenital megacolon. Participants were randomly divided into WeChat group and telephone group. This study explored parents' knowledge of the care of children with megacolon, the follow-up rate of children, post-operative defaecation function and complications. WeChat group scored better in nursing knowledge than telephone group, and the difference was statistically significant. The lost follow-up rate in WeChat group was lower than that in telephone group, and the difference was statistically significant. Post-operative defaecation was also better in the WeChat group than in the phone group. Most complications in the phone group were significantly higher than those in the WeChat group. Peri-operative care for parents of children with megacolon through WeChat can effectively enhance the level of parental care knowledge, improve defaecation, reduce the occurrence of certain complications and reduce lost follow-up.
