Influence Of Individual Health Education On The Related Knowledge In Parents Of Children With Hand, Foot And Mouth Disease

Object:Understand the cognition,sources and the demand of the related knowledge inparents of children infected by HFMD.To explore the effective and feasible individualhealth education lecture on HFMD.To evaluate the effect of this health educationlecture on HFMD.Methods:88parents of HFMD children who were hospitalized in the Department ofinfectious disease of The First Hospital of Jilin University from May,2013toOctober,2013were selected according to some matching conditions and were dividedrandomly into two groups by tossing a coin,the positive into the experimentalgroup,the back into the control group.The Questionnaire Of Knowledge On HFMDwas used to assess the general information,the cognition of relevant knowledge(including basic knowledge,route of transmission,prevention, professional knowledgefour aspects) and the sources and the demand for related knowledge of two groups ofparents before intervention. After assessment the brochure of the knowledge relatedon HFMD was provided to each parent.The control group was received routinenursing,the experimental group was received the individual health education.To assessthe level of HFMD knowledge of the two groups of parents on the day of dischargeagain. Analysis the differences between the statistics of the two groups.SPSS17.0software was applied for statistical data analysis, and P<0.05was defined as astatistically significant difference.Results：1．In terms of the general information of the two groups,P>0.05,so thedifference is not statistically significant.2．The primary sources of HFMD knowledge of parents are television andfamilies,neighbors,friends and colleagues (%);followed by the network(50%).And they hope to get the knowledge of HFMD from doctors(57.95%),expert(48.86%)andtelevision(44.32%).And the needs of the majority parents in all aspects of HFMDknowledge are very intense.3．87.5%parents are willing to participate in lectures on HFMDknowledge,12.5%parents are not willing to participate or do not care.4．The basic knowledge score of the experimental group before interventionwas10.30±3.01,after intervention the score was14.18±1.97,the difference isstatistically significant (P<0.01);The basic knowledge score of the control groupbefore intervention was10.11±2.13,after intervention the score was12.53±2.51,thedifference is statistically significant (P<0.01);the difference between the basicknowledge score of the two groups before intervention is not statisticallysignificant(P>0.05);after intervention the difference between the basic knowledgescore of the two groups before intervention is statistically significant(P<0.001).5．The Route of transmission score of the experimental group beforeintervention was12.04±3.48,after intervention the score was14.61±1.28,the differenceis statistically significant (P<0.01);The route of transmission score of the controlgroup before intervention was11.10±3.37,after intervention the score was13.55±2.70,the difference is statistically significant (P<0.01);the difference betweenthe transmission knowledge score of the two groups before intervention is notstatistically significant(P>0.05);after intervention the difference between thetransmission knowledge score of the two groups is statistically significant(P<0.05).6．The prevention knowledge score of the experimental group beforeintervention was19.40±4.02,after intervention the score was24.55±2.12,thedifference is statistically significant (P<0.01);the prevention knowledge score of thecontrol group before intervention was20.26±3.26,after intervention the score was22.05±2.51,the difference is statistically significant (P<0.01);the difference betweenthe prevention knowledge score of the two groups before intervention is notstatistically significant(P>0.05);the difference between the prevention knowledgescore of the two groups after intervention is statistically significant (P<0.0001).7．The professional knowledge score of the experimental group beforeintervention was24.45±5.73,after intervention the score was35.38±5.55,thedifference is statistically significant (P<0.01);The professional knowledge score of thecontrol group before intervention was25.39±6.99,after intervention the score was 31.39±4.67,the difference is statistically significant (P<0.01);the difference betweenthe professional knowledge score of the two groups before intervention is notstatistically significant(P>0.05);the difference between the professional knowledgescore of the two groups after intervention is statistically significant(P<0.001).8．The total score of the experimental group before intervention was66.19±12.74,after intervention the score was88.73±9.13,the difference is statisticallysignificant (P<0.01);The total score of the control group before intervention was66.85±11.70,after intervention the score was79.52±8.54,the difference is statisticallysignificant(P<0.01);the difference between the total score of the two groups beforeintervention is not statistically significant(P>0.05);the difference between the totalscore of the two groups after intervention is statistically significant (P<0.0001).9．The average hospitalization of children in the experimental group was3.50±0.78,the average hospital stay of children in the control group was4.40±1.09,thedifference is statistically significant(P<0.01).Conclusions:1．Most parents Learn a little on HFMD, but lack professional HFMDknowledge.2．The primary sources of HFMD knowledge of parents are television andfamilies,neighbors,friends and colleagues,but they prefer to get HFMD knowledgefrom doctors,expert and television.And the needs to get all aspects of HFMDknowledge are very intense.3．Both individual health education and routine care can improve the degree ofunderstanding of HFMD knowledge among parents,However,In terms of basicknowledge,prevention knowledge,professional knowledge and total score,individualhealth education is better than usual care.4．Individual health education can effectively shorten the averagehospitalization of HFMD children.
