What are the new characteristics of health education in infusion department of pediatric outpatient department?

With the deepening of market economy, new changes have taken place in pediatric medical care. Reflected in the infusion treatment, more than 80% of parents refused to treat their children in hospital and chose outpatient infusion for observation. As a result, children and parents stay in the hospital for a short time, and the opportunities for contact and communication with medical staff are reduced. In addition, some parents lack medical knowledge, which leads to unclear treatment, prevention and nursing procedures for children's diseases and incomplete understanding of the problems that should be paid attention to. In order to meet the needs of children with different levels and diseases and their parents, since the establishment of pediatric infusion observation room in 200 1, our department has conducted health education for parents of children in various forms, such as oral education, group lectures and photo publicity, and achieved satisfactory results, which were well received by children and their parents. The experience is introduced as follows.

2 characteristics of outpatient infusion room

The characteristics of outpatient infusion observation are that children come to see a doctor at any time, and the infusion time is uncertain, with the shortest 1h, the longest 6h and the average 3h [1]. In view of the characteristics of large mobility and short stay time of children in the infusion observation room, we set out to paste some vivid pictures on the wall of the infusion room and match some problems that need attention with concise words to attract the attention of children and parents and make them interested in remembering the contents. In addition, the bulletin board of the fixed blackboard newspaper regularly changes the content and carries out popular science education. And there are all kinds of free brochures available to parents at any time.
