Effect of "321" health education model on uncertainty of disease in patients with diabetic retinopathy

Abstract

Objective To explore the influence of 321 health education model on the quality of life, physiological and psychological treatment and uncertainty of disease in patients with diabetic retinopathy. Methods From January to December 2016, 104 patients with fundus surgery in the hospital for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy were selected as the research object. They were randomly divided into observation group and control group by the random number table method. Patients in the control group received routine health education and the patients in the observation group received the 321 model of health education. Patients in the two groups were tested with Mishel's uncertainty in illness scale (MUIS) before and after receiving education. The uncertainty of disease between two groups before and after education was compared, and two groups were assessed by using SF-36 scale and diabetes specific quality of life (DSQL) . Results Before the education, the scores of disease uncertainty in the control group and the observation group were (104.9±6.7) and (105.1±6.5) points, and the difference was not statistically significant (t=-0.154, P=0.878) ; After receiving education, the scores of disease uncertainty in the control group and the observation group were (92.6±6.2) and (82.2±6.1) points, and the difference was statistically significant (t=8.622, P<0.001) ; The scores of psychological/mental health and treatment were significantly different between the two groups after receiving education (P<0.05) . Conclusions The 321 health education model for diabetic retinopathy can significantly reduce the uncertainty of disease, and has positive significance for the psychological/mental health and treatment of the patients.
