Effects of Video Combined with the Teach-Back Method on the Respiratory Function Exercise of Patients Undergoing Thoracotomy ()
ABSTRACT
Objective: To explore the effect of video combined with the teach-back method on
respiratory function exercise in patients undergoing tumor thoracotomy. Methods: Eligible patients undergoing thoracotomy for tumor were selected from the
thoracic surgery at a level-A tertiary hospital between August 2021 and December
2021 and included in the control group and the observation group (40 patients
in each group). To prevent two groups of patients from interacting with each
other, the thoracic surgery ward I was distinguished as the control group, which was adopted by the routine instruction.
Based on routine instruction, the thoracic surgery ward II conducted
respiratory function exercise instruction by video combined with the teach-back
method to compare the two groups’ compliance with respiratory function exercise,
complication rates, and patient satisfaction. Results: The patient
compliance with respiratory function exercise in the observation group was
significantly higher (P < 0.05) and the rate of pulmonary complications in
the observation group was lower (P < 0.05) than that in the control group,
while the observation group had a high level of satisfaction (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Taking video combined with the teach-back method, an effective health
education method, can improve the compliance of the respiratory function
exercise of patients undergoing thoracotomy for tumor and promote the recovery
of pulmonary function to reduce the incidence of postoperative pulmonary
complications so as to improve patient satisfaction.
