Impact of medication self-management module on medication compliance of patients out of the hospital after lung transplantation

Abstract

Objective To explore the impact of medication self-management module on medication compliance of patients after lung transplantation. Methods Totals of 48 patients were divided into experimental group (n=24) and control group (n=24). The control group received conventional treatment and nursing care. The experimental group received medication self-management module on the basis of conventional treatment and nursing care. Results Compared the two groups after 12 months, medication compliance of experimental group was 87.50%, and that of control group was 79.17%, significant difference was found between two groups (χ2=8.641, P<0.05). Blood drug concentration and 6MWT of experimental group was (10.78±2.61)ng/L and (324.15±23.91) m, respectively, higher than that in control group (8.64±2.03)ng/L and(291.58±20.84) m, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (t=8.143, 7.852, respectively; P<0.05). Conclusions Medication self-management module can solve the patient’s medication problem and improve the compliance of lung transplant patients, so it is suitable for clinical application.
