Abstract:

Objective To explore the effects of teach-back in health education of older patients with esophageal cancer after operation. Methods A total of 72 older patients who underwent esophageal surgery in thoracic surgery from June to September 2020 of a tertiary hospital in Henan Province were randomly divided into the control group(n=35) and the experimental group(n=37). Patients in the control group was given routine education on naso-intestinal tube by oral education and video watching. Patients in the experimental group was given naso-intestinal health education by teach-back method,which mainly included explanation,evaluation,clarification,re-education and understanding. The unplanned extubation rate of naso-intestinal tube and the score of nursing knowledge after intervention were compared between the two groups. Results After the intervention,the unplanned extubation rate(0) of naso-intestinal tube in the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group(24.79‰)(P=0.010). The scores of nursing knowledge about naso-intestinal tube(82.70±9.32) was significantly higher than that of the control group(50.57±15.89)(t=10.388,P<0.05). Conclusion Teach-back method is a practical and effective health education method,which can improve the knowledge level of naso-intestinal nursing and reduce the incidence of unplanned extubation.
