Application of Health Education Path in Tumor Patients with Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter

[Objective]To explore the application effect of clinical pathway on health education of nursing for tumor patients with Peripherally inserted central catheter(PICC). [Methods]126 PICC tumor patients were randomly divided into two groups,the experimental group was given health education of clinical pathway,and the control group was given traditional health education.The knowledge about catheter,nursing satisfaction of patient and his family,catheter maintenance after discharge of two groups were compared. [Results]The awareness rate of knowledge about catheter(93.8%) and satisfaction rate toward nursing(96.9%) in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group.The incidence of catheter abnormality after discharge in the experimental groups was lower than that in the control group. [Conclusion]The application of clinical pathway on health education for PICC patients can increase the awareness rate of knowledge about catheter and satisfaction rate toward nursing,and reduce the complications during indwelling catheterization.
