Objective: To explore the effect of systemic health education on the quality of lifein patients with arteriosclerosis obliterans in lower extremity, to provide the effectivehealth education method for improving the quality of life in patients with arterioslerosisobliterans in lower extremity.Methods: Totally100Patients in vascular surgery department of the FirstAffiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University with arterioselerosis obliterans inlower extremity were assigned to reference group (routine health education condition)and test group (systemic health education condition) randomly, there are50patients ineach group, different team members can not be in the same ward, each patient in twogroups accepted the same visiting times everyday.Questionnaires including General Information Questionnaire, Short Form36Health Survey Questionnaire (SF-36), Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ)and Perceived Social Support Scale(PSSS) were sent out to the patients after1-2daysadmission and one day before dischar-ge.200valid questionnaires were returnedimmediately, the effeetive ratio was100%. Both group members were educated inrutine health education way, the test team members were educated with systemic healtheducation methods by the researcher additionally.Statistical analyses were performed by SPSS version11.5. Continuous variableswere compared across the2groups using analysis of multiple factors Hotelling T2tests, For selected test group paired variables, tests were conducted to see if changeswithin group differed using analysis of Paired-Samples T Test. Statistical significancewas accepted at the0.05level given the multiple contrasts stated above.Results:1. Positioning of these findings, highlighting diversity was shown in the areas ofRole-Physical, Role-Emotional, Confrontation, Family Social Support and Acceptance-resignation, the P value were0.033,0.009,0.000,0.004,0.040, respectively.Statistical analyses revealed systemic health education precedes routine healtheducation in general description when discharged.2. After receiving the systematic health education, the scores in Physi-calFunctioning, Role-Physical, Role-Emotional, Bodily Pain, General Health,Confrontation and Acceptance-resignation were improved signifi-cantly (P<0.01orP<0.05) for the patients in the experimental group.Conclusion: The conclusion drawn is also valid that systemic health educationcan effectively improve quality of life in patients with arterioscl-erosis obliterans inlower extremity, especially in the dimensionalities of Physical Functioning,Role-Physical, Confrontation, Acceptance-resignati-on and Family Social Support.
