Influence of spot-inspection form on self-care ability of postoperative patients with diabetic retinopathy

Abstract

Objective To explore the effects of spot-inspection form on self-care ability of postoperative patients with diabetic retinopathy .Methods By the random sampling method , we chose 86 postoperative patients with diabetic retinopathy .All the patients were randomly assigned into two groups-the control group （n=42） and the experimental group （n=44）.The control group was given healthy guidance and medication directions.The experimental group was given extra education of spot-inspection form.The Exercise of Self-care Agency Seale （ ESCA ） and self-designed questionnaire were used to assess the postoperative patients with diabetic retinopathy on the second day after operation , one month after operation and three months after operation.Results The second day after the operation and one month after operation , the self-care ability of postoperative patients with diabetic retinopathy had no significant differences between patients in the two groups （P〉0.05）.Three months after the operation , the scores of self-care, self-concept, self-care responsibility, health knowledge level and self-care ability in the experimental group were （32.18 ±4.99）, （21.98 ±2.71）, （20.50 ±2.17）, （53.73 ±6.73） and （128.39 ±14.00）, respectively.Those scores in the control group were （30.60 ±5.04）, （20.64 ±3.15）, （19.36 ±2.30）, （50.83 ±7.39） and （121.43 ±15.53）.The scores in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group （ t=2.109,2.367, 1.903,2.184, respectively;P〈0.05）, except for the self-nursing skills （P〈0.05）.Conclusions The spot-inspection form applied to postoperative patients with diabetic retinopathy has practical significance to improve the self-care ability, promote the rehabilitation of patients and improve the quality of life .
