Objective To analyze the effect of health education based on planned behavior theory on medication compliance of kidney transplant patients.
Methods A total of 426 patients with kidney transplantation were randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 213 patients in each group. The control group was treated with routine nursing, and the observation group was treated with health education based on planned behavior theory on the basis of control group. The medication complianceBasel Assessment of Adherence to Immunosuppressive Medications Scale (BAASIS), immunosuppressant therapy adherence instrument (ITAS) Scale and Morisky Medication Compliance Scale, medication beliefBeliefs about Medication Questionnaire (BMQ), including general beliefs (BMQ-General) and specific beliefs(BMQ-Specific), psychological statedistress thermometer (DT), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD)and health education satisfaction of the two groups were compared before and after intervention.
Results After intervention, BAASIS score in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group, ITAS score and Morisky score in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05); the scores of BMQ-General and BMQ-Specific in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05); after intervention, DT, HAMA and HAMD scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The satisfaction of health education in the observation group was 94.84%, which was significantly higher than 86.86% in the control group (P < 0.05).
