Effect of continuity nursing based on the theory of Knowledge-Attitude-Practice on quality of life, self-efficacy, and treatment compliance in elderly patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Medicine (Baltimore) 2024 April 6
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of continuity nursing based on the theory of Knowledge-Attitude-Practice (KAP) on the quality of life, self-efficacy, and treatment compliance in elderly patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
METHODS: In this single-center, randomized controlled study, a total of 232 elderly BPH patients who received treatment at our hospital from June 2020 to June 2022 were selected as the research subjects. They were randomly divided into the research group (n = 116) and the control group (n = 116). The control group received conventional interventions, while the research group received continuity nursing based on the theory of KAP on the basis of control group. Anxiety, depression, self-care agency, quality of life, self-efficacy, treatment compliance, and nursing satisfaction were compared between these 2 groups.
RESULTS: Before nursing intervention, both groups showed a decrease in SAS and SDS scores after the intervention. Furthermore, self-care ability, self-care responsibility, self-concept, health knowledge level, role function, emotional function, somatic function, cognitive function, social function, and General Self-Efficacy Scale scores increased. Additionally, the research group demonstrated lower/higher levels than the control group (P < .05). The research group exhibited higher treatment compliance (P = .002) and greater nursing satisfaction compared to the control group (P = .014).
CONCLUSION: Continuity nursing based on the theory of KAP can improve negative emotions in elderly BPH patients, enhance their self-efficacy and treatment compliance, and achieve better clinical outcomes.
