Abstract
[Objective]To investigate the effect of health education on the quality of life in patients with cerebral infarction.[Methods]80 patients with cerebral infarction were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group,40 cases in each group.The control group received routine nursing care,and the observation group was given health education on the basis of the control group.The changes in score of life quality and activity of daily living(Barther index) after 8 weeks were observed in two groups.[Results]The scores of physical function,role function,emotional function,social function and overall life quality of the observation group(1.94±0.29,1.89±0.27,1.94±0.32,1.82±0.27 and 6.32±0.79) were higher than those of the control group(1.72±0.23,1.65±0.26,1.69±0.30,1.58±0.26 and 5.21±0.83) significantly(P0.05).Barther index score in the observation group(59.44±10.72) was higher than that in the control group(46.04±9.45) significantly(P0.05).[Conclusion]Health education can significantly improve the quality of life in patients with cerebral infarction.
