Effects of transtheoretical model-based health education on compliance behavior in patients receiving vitrectomy combined with silicone oil endotamponade

Objective To explore the effects of transtheoretical model-based health education on compliance behavior in patients receiving vitrectomy combined with silicone oil endotamponade. Methods The patients who received vitrectomy combined with silicone oil endotamponade in a Class Ⅲ Grade A hospital in Beijing between January and August 2016 were selected by convenient sampling and divided into the observation group (n=65) and the control group (n=71) according to the random number table. Patients in the control group received conventional health education, while patients in the observation group received transtheoretical model-based health education. The relevant knowledge questionnaire, compliance behavior scale, quality of life scale for visual impairment patients were used to evaluate the effects of intervention. Results There was statistical difference in the relevant knowledge scale score between the two groups (P<0.05) ; the total compliance behavior scale scores and the scores of positioning, reexamination, self-examination, adherence to medication, lifestyle, health and fitness were higher than in the control group (P<0.05) ; the scores of total quality of life and social activities、mental psychology of the observation group were lower than those of the control group (P<0.05) . Conclusions The transtheoretical model-based health education helps to the compliance behavior in patients receiving vitrectomy combined with silicone oil endotamponade.
