| Objective: To explore the influence of health education based on Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) on readiness for hospital discharge scale (RHDS) and quality of discharge teaching in elderly patients with osteoporosis. Methods: 210 patients with osteoporosis were randomly and equally divided into control group and observation group. The control group and observation group were given routine nursing care. Additionally, the observation group was subjected to exercise training, management of diet, drugs, pain and fall, and followed up. SPPB scores before and after intervention, RHDS after intervention, and quality of discharge teaching were compared between two groups. Results: After intervention, SPPB scores and total scores in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group and before intervention (allP<0.05). The 4 dimensions and total scores of RHDS and the 2 dimensions and total scores of discharge guidance quality in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (allP<0.05). Conclusion: Personalized health education is beneficial to improve the physical fitness, readiness for hospital discharge and quality of discharge teaching in elderly patients with osteoporosis. |
