Analysis on Value of Continuous Nursing Based on WeChat in Improving Healthy Quality of Life and Self-Management Behavior of Patients with Diabetic Nephropathy

OBJECTIVE: To explore the value of continuous nursing (CN) based on WeChat in improving healthy quality of life and self-management behavior of patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN). METHODS: A total of 100 patients with DN who were treated in our hospital from November 2019 to January 2020 were selected. Thereinto, 54 patients who received CN based on WeChat were considered as the research group, and 46 patients who received the routine nursing intervention were considered as the control group. Peripheral blood samples were collected before nursing intervention (T0), 1 month after intervention (T1), and 2 months after intervention (T2) to test blood glucose, blood lipid, and renal function. Exercise of self-care agency (ESCA) scale and general self-efficacy scale (GSES) was conducted to evaluate patients' self-management ability, and a short-form 36-item health survey (SF-36) was conducted to evaluate their quality of life. Finally, the treatment compliance and satisfaction of patients were investigated. RESULTS: There was no marked difference in blood glucose, blood lipid, and renal function between groups at T0 (P > 0.05), but the research group was better than the control group at T1 and T2 (P < 0.05). After the nursing intervention, the scores of ESCA, GSES, and SF-36 in the research group were higher (P < 0.05). In addition, the treatment compliance rate and satisfaction of the research group were also higher. CONCLUSION: CN based on WeChat can effectively improve the self-management behavior and quality of life of DN patients, which is extremely suitable for such chronic diseases with extremely long treatment cycles and can provide a more effective guarantee for their recovery.
