Abstract
Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of medical education combined with extended care in patients with bronchial asthma and its effect on adherence to inhaled glucocorticoids.
Methods: Ninety-eight patients with bronchial asthma were divided into the control group and the experimental group, n = 49, by utilizing the random number table method. The control group was given routine education and care as well as routine out-of-hospital instructions, and the experimental group was given medical education and extended care based on the control group. Asthma disease knowledge mastery, asthma control, quality of life, medication adherence and lung function were compared between both groups, and the number of asthma attacks and re-hospitalizations were recorded.
Results: The experimental group performed higher scores of health knowledge, asthma control test and quality of life, rate of complete adherence, forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), peak expiratory flow rate, and FEV1/forced vital capacity. The number of asthma attacks and the times of re-hospitalizations were lower in the experimental group (all p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Medical education combined with extended care can improve bronchial asthma patients' mastery of asthma disease knowledge, effectively control patients' conditions, enhance patients' quality of life and lung function, increase patients' adherence to inhaled glucocorticoids, and reduce the recurrence of bronchial asthma patients.
