Purpura nephritis, also called Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis, is a systemic disease with dead small vasculitis as the main pathological change.
Some clinical studies have suggested that the disease is caused by stimuli such as parasitic infections and drug or food allergies, and epidemiological analysis shown that the incidence of the disease has increased in recent years.
The aim of the study was to observe the influence of transitional nursing activities on compliance behaviors and disease knowledge of children with purpura nephritis.
The general nursing group received routine nursing care, and the transitional nursing group received transitional nursing care. The behaviors, knowledge of disease, and self-management ability of the two groups were evaluated after nursing care was provided.
The scores of four items (self-care ability, self-responsibility, health knowledge level and self-concept) in the transitional nursing group were significantly higher than those in the general nursing group.
Transitional nursing can effectively improve the disease cognition, self-management ability, and compliance rate of children with purpura nephritis and reduce the incidence of outpatient complications, and it has a high promotion value.
As a common measure in the nursing care for some diseases with a long course and susceptibility to recurrence, continuous nursing can compensate for the deficiency of transitional nursing care in children with purpura nephritis and achieve the goal of controlling disease recurrence through inpatient, discharge, and outpatient nursing activities.
