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 .
