Objective To explore the application effect of family-community-hospital linked care in patients with chronic hepatitis B.
Methods A total of 118 patients with chronic hepatitis B were selected and randomly divided into control group and observation group using a random number table method, with 59 patients in each group. The control group received routine health education, while the observation group received family-community-hospital ternary linked care on the basis of the control group received family-community-hospital linked care. The social support, treatment adherence, quality of life, and fear of disease progression between the two groups were compared before intervention and 2 months after the intervention.
Results Two months after the intervention, the scores of the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), the Treatment Adherence Scale for chronic hepatitis B patients, and the Chronic Liver Disease Questionnaire (CLDQ) increased in both groups compared with those before the intervention, and the above scores were higher in the observation group than in those in the control group (P < 0.05). The scores of social family and physical health on the Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form (FoP-Q-SF) decreased in both groups compared with those before the intervention, and the scores were lower in the observation group than those in the control group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion Family-community-hospital linked care can improve social support, treatment adherence, and quality of life in patients with chronic hepatitis B and alleviate their fear of the disease.
