Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Omaha system on the self-management ability of patients with glaucoma after discharge, so as to provide evidence for the further development of glaucoma.
MethodsA total of 86 cases of glaucoma patients were divided into control group and observation group, each group of 43 cases, the control group was given routine discharge guidance and follow-up, the observation group was given continuous nursing care based on the Omaha system. The two groups of patients before and after the discharge of the last 3 days and the end of the 2 months of self-management ability score.
ResultsThere was no statistical significance in the life adjustment, functional health care, medical management of diseases level of 3 d before discharge from the hospital(P > 0.05). The life adjustment, medical management of diseases level was (8.73±2.51), (20.86±1.55) points at 2 months after discharge in control group,which was higher than that at 3 d before discharge (6.07±1.62), (16.11±3.35) points,there was significant difference(t=2.127, 2.867,P<0.05). The life adjustment, functional health care, medical management of diseases level was(11.25±1.48),(20.78±2.61),(26.74±1.26) points at 2 months after discharge in observation group,which was higher than that at 3 d before discharge (6.12±1.71), (13.62±3.22), (16.04±2.78)points,there was significant difference(t=4.215, 3.544, 5.328, P<0.05). There was significant difference in the life adjustment, functional health care, medical management of diseases level of 2 months after discharge between two groups (t=2.074, 4.064, 4.878, P<0.05).
ConclusionsContinuous care based on the Omaha system can improve the life management, functional health care, medical management and general self-management ability of patients with glaucoma.
