Objective:
To investigate the treatment compliance and basic health needs of rural patients with gastric ulcer.
Methods:
One hundred and sixteen patients with gastric ulcer were measured with treatment compliance questionnaire. The questionnaire contained 3 aspects: chemical therapy, regular callback, and improvement in life style, and had another part of questions which were designed to investigate the basic health needs of the patients.
Results:
The patient compliance rate in the aspect of improvement in life style was 4.3% (n=5). Both of the counterparts in the other 2 aspects were 7.8% (n=9). The main correlative factor with treatment compliance of the investigated patients was economic income. There were 105 patients (90.5%) needing health consultation, 98 patients (84.5%) needing diet instruction and 93 patients (80.2%) needing regular physical examination among the 116 patients investigated.
Conclusion:
The treatment compliance rate of rural patients with gastric ulcer was very low. It is necessary to emphasize health education.
