Relationship between health education plan and hospitalization frequency in the children with respiratory tract infection

Journal Title: Pakistan Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 28, Issue 1

Abstract

 This paper was to explore the effect of health education frequency and patterns on the children. Children aged 3-12 years were randomly divided into Group A, B and C, respectively received the health education once a month, once ten days as well as once a week within a period of one year .It was as the evaluation both of the hospitalization frequency owing to the respiratory tract infections and the health education loss rate with year turnover. Results shown Group C was close to the times of hospitalization less than 3 times in one year, while Group B was to 3-6 as well as Group A was to the times of hospitalization 6-9 times in one year. The results of health education loss rate, which shown the loss increases with the frequency of the health education, was 28% in Group A, 36.36% in Group B and 46.34% in Group C. Conclusion could be draw as following: the health education frequency and patterns could affect the children by hospitalization rate of respiratory tract infection as well as the health education loss rate. It was a reasonable solution to give them the health education once every ten days.
