Abstract:
Objectives: In this study, we explored the application effect of the communication mode based on WeChat platform in the family members of patients after partial pulmonary resection in the anesthesia intensive care unit. Methods: We selected 80 patients with elective general anesthesia for partial pulmonary resection and divided them into an observation group and a control group with 40 cases in each group according to the random number table method. We compared anxiety self-evaluation scores, medical service satisfaction scores, and family members' desire to visit between the 2 groups. Results: The anxiety score of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group (p<.05). The medical service satisfaction score of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (p<.05). The desire for face-to-face visits of family members in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (p<.05). Conclusion: The communication mode based on the WeChat platform can reduce the anxiety of patients, improve the satisfaction of patients with medical services, and reduce the desire of family members to visit. The method is simple and easy to implement and is worthy of clinical outreach.
