Core Tip
Core Tip: Vestibular dysfunction (VH) is a common concomitant symptom in the late stage of various external vestibular diseases, and the etiology is unknown in about 50% of cases. In this paper, 80 patients with unilateral VH were selected as retrospective research objects. We found that health education based on information-motivation-behavioral skills model can effectively improve the quality of life of patients, improve the self-efficacy of patients with unilateral VH, enhance their self-confidence, enable them to return to normal work and life as soon as possible, and reduce their anxiety and depression. Effectively improve the psychological state of patients.
