Effect of 3D printing model assisted health education on nursing in patients with thoracolumbar tuberculosis

Objective To investigate the effect of 3D printing model assisted Health education on improving bed compliance and Mental state in patients with thoracolumbar tuberculosis. Methods One hundred and four patients with thoracolumbar tuberculosis in our department from January 2018 to August 2018 were divided into two groups, 52 in each group. The control group was given routine health education in nursing intervention, and the observation group was added 3D printed model assisted nursing intervention. Both groups were nursed to the beginning of surgery. Before and after nursing, the Morisky-Green assessment form was used to evaluate the absolute bed compliance and related health knowledge. The depression self-rating scale (SDS) and the anxiety self-rating scale (SAS) questionnaire were used to evaluate the depression and anxiety of the two groups. So, to investigate the effect of 3D printing model assisted Health education on improving bed compliance and Mental state in patients with thoracolumbar tuberculosis. Results After nursing, the absolute bed compliance of the observation group was 96.15%, and the absolute bed compliance of the control group was 67.31%, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). After the nursing, the total health knowledge awareness rate of the observation group was 98.08%, and the total health knowledge awareness rate of the control group was 73.08%, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). After nursing, the SDS and SAS scores of the two groups were significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Bed rest is the basis for the treatment of thoracolumbar tuberculosis and the basic method of treatment. Using 3D printed model assisted in health education can significantly improve the absolute bed compliance and the awareness of tuberculosis-related health knowledge, stabilize the patient's psychology, and is helpful for the follow-up treatment.
