Abstract:

The clinical data of 175 male patients with tuberculous empyema who underwent pleural fibreboard stripping surgery from January 2016 to December 2017 at the First Department of Thoracic Surgery of Shenyang Chest Hospital was analyzed retrospectively. Seventy-five patients from January to December of 2016 were defined as pre implementation group and applied routine health education model after surgery. One hundred patients from January to December of 2017 were defined as post implementation group and applied diversified health education model after surgery. The patient’s compliance of functional exercise in the pre implementation group was 65.3% (49/75), which was lower than that in the post implementation group (84.0% (84/100)), and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=8.19, P=0.004). The satisfactory degrees of patients on the nursing care in the pre implementation group (93.3% (70/75)) was lower than that in the post implementation group (100.0% (100/100)), and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=9.29, P=0.010). For patients with tuberculous empyema after operation, the diversified health education significantly improves the patient’s compliance of postoperative limb functional exercises and increases the satisfactory degrees of patients on the nursing care.
