家庭健康教育对食管癌患者生活质量的影响

目的探讨同步实施家庭健康教育对食管癌患者生活质量的影响。方法将64例已确诊的食管癌患者按首次住院的先后顺序随机分为对照组(32例)和观察组(32例),两组患者在常规治疗的同时接受健康教育,观察组在此基础上同步实施家属健康教育。在患者入院时及入院后第4周,采用生活质量指数评定量表,分别对两组患者生活质量进行评分比较。结果入院第4周时,观察组患者总体生活质量明显高于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.01);观察组患者入院后第4周的总体生活质量明显高于入院时,差异有统计学意义(P<0.01)。结论对食管癌患者家属同步实施健康教育,可提高家属的照料水平及配合程度,减少患者的精神压力,提高患者的生活质量。
