Effects of PBL health education on maternal disease knowledge, self-care ability and pregnancy outcome in pre-eclampsia women

Abstract

Objective To explore the effect of PBL health education on maternal disease knowledge and self-care ability and pregnancy outcome in pre-eclampsia women. Methods A total of 128 cases of preeclampsia women admitted to the hospital from January 2015 to December 2016 were selected.According to the random number table method, they were divided into the control group and the observation group, 64 cases of each group. Routine health education was given to the control group during pregnancy, and PBL health education was given to the observation group during pregnancy. The disease knowledge and self-care ability of the two groups were compared before and after the intervention. Results The knowledge scores of diet, exercise, drug therapy, complication prevention, neonatal care and puerperal care in the observation group were all higher than those in the control group(P<0.05). After intervention, the total score of self-care ability and each dimension score in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05). The incidence of cesarean section, postpartum hemorrhage, shock, placental abruption, fetal death and fetal distress in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05). Conclusions PBL type health education during pregnancy is helpful to improve maternal disease knowledge and self-care ability of pre-eclampsia and reduce adverse pregnancy outcomes.
