Cluster convenience sampling method was used to divide them into control group and study group with 60 cases each.The control group was given routine nursing, while the study group implemented health education mode intervention based on KAP theory on this basis.The changes of knowledge, practice, clinical efficacy and quality of life in the two groups were observed and compared.
ResultsAfter the intervention of health education mode based on KAP theory, the knowledge, attitude, practice and total score of patients in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). The clinical efficacy of the study group was significantly better than that of the control group (P<0.05). The quality of life score of the study group was significanlty higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).
