Effect of problem-based learning health educational model on life quality of maintenance peritoneal dialysis patients

Abstract

Objective To explore the effect of problem-based learning （PBL） health educational model on life quality of maintenance peritoneal dialysis patients .Methods Forty-six maintenance peritoneal dialysis patients in our hospital were chosen and divided into the control group （ n =22 ） and the experimental group （n=24）.The control group received the routine health education , and the experimental group received the PBL health educational model .The treatment compliance and life quality of patients were assessed by the treatment compliance evaluation scale and KDQOL-SF questionnaire survey between two groups 6 months after the intervention.Results The treatment compliance 6 months after the intervention was （3.88 ±0.78） in the experimental group, and was （2.91 ±0.73） in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant （t=4.344,P〈0.05）.The scores of KDTA and SF-36 were respectively （51.40 ±9.24） and （49.39 ±6.17） in the experimental group after intervention , and were higher than those of the control group , and the differences were statistically significant （t=2.614,3.928, respectively;P〈0.05）.Conclusions PBL health educational model is in accord with the characteristics of health education among maintenance peritoneal dialysis patients , and can improve their life quality, and is worthy of clinical promotion .
