Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate the deep venous thrombosis (DVT) cognition and its influencing factors in patients with lower extremity DVT first time diagnosed so as to provide a basis for DVT management.
MethodsFrom December 2018 to September 2019, we selected patients with lower extremity DVT first time diagnosed at Peking Union Medical College Hospital by convenience sampling. The cross-sectional investigation was carried out with the self-designed questionnaire including the general information, disease data, DVT knowledge. This study analyzed the influencing factors of DVT cognition of patients.
ResultsA total of 100 questionnaires were sent out and 99 valid questionnaires were collected. The standardized score of DVT knowledge was (45.76±28.05) . Single factor analysis showed that there were statistical differences in the scores of DVT knowledge among patients with different ages, education levels, types of thrombosis, diagnosis time of DVT, swelling, affecting life and work, awareness of intervention (P<0.05) . Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the influencing factors of disease cognition of patients with lower extremity DVT first time diagnosed including the education levels and awareness of intervention with statistical differences (P<0.05) .
ConclusionsPatients with DVT first time diagnosed have the low level of disease cognition. Nurses should provide individualized health education and guide based on patients' personal and disease characteristics to improve patients' cognition on DVT, and DVT prevention to improve patients' long-term prognosis.
