Abstract
ObjectiveTo explore the application effect of WeChat-led diversified health education in postoperative rehabilitation training for patients with breast neoplasms.
MethodsUsing the convenient sampling method, a total of 98 patients with breast neoplasms who were hospitalized and underwent surgery in Shangqiu First People's Hospital from March 2017 to October 2018 were selected as research objects and they were divided into the control group (n=46) and the experimental group (n=52) . Patients in the control group adopted conventional health education methods, while patients in the experimental group adopted diversified health education based on WeChat. The Self-perceived Burden Questionnaire and Rehabilitation Self-efficacy Scale for patients after breast neoplasms surgery were used to compare the effects of intervention before education and 6 months after follow-up.
ResultAfter 6 months of follow-up, the emotional and economic burden, the impact on family structure, the burden of disease and treatment and the total score of self-perceived burden of patients with breast neoplasms in the experimental group were all lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) . After 6 months of follow-up, the total score and scores of all dimensions of rehabilitation self-efficacy scale of patients with breast neoplasms in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) .
ConclusionsDiversified health education based on WeChat can help alleviate self-perceived burden of patients with breast neoplasms and improve their rehabilitation self-efficacy.
