Effect of picture dialogue on the educational effect in pregnant women with pregnancy induced hypertension

Abstract

Objective To explore the effect of picture dialogue on the educational effect in pregnant women with pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH). Methods 82 pregnant women with PIH who met the inclusion criteria were divided into 2 groups by random and double blind method with 41 cases in each group. The control group was given routine nursing, and the observation group was given picture dialogue health education on the basis of the control group. The cognition of disease, treatment compliance, change of psychological status, childbirth self-efficacy, and change of blood pressure in the 2 groups were compared before and after the intervention. Results There were statistically significant differences in disease cognition score [(92.2±6.1) vs.(87.6±6.7)], treatment compliance score [(93.8±6.0) vs.(88.4±6.9)], outcome expectancy score [(90.5±10.6) vs.(70.6±7.7)], efficacy expectancy score [(94.3±8.6) vs.(78.2±8.3)] between the 2 groups after the intervention (P<0.05). SAS score, SDS score, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure of the observation group after intervention were significantly lower than those before intervention (P<0.05), there were statistically significant differences compared with those of the control group after intervention (P<0.05). Conclusions Picture dialogue can significantly improve the cognition of disease and treatment compliance of pregnant women with PIH, significantly improve the anxiety and depression symptoms, promote the improvement of childbirth self-efficacy in pregnant women, and effectively control the blood pressure.
