Aim The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of implementing WeChat‐assisted health education for parents of infants after enterostomy. Methods This study retrospectively analysed the clinical data of 106 infants after enterostomy whose parents received WeChat‐assisted health education in our hospital from June 2017 to June 2019. The clinical data of 92 infants after enterostomy whose parents received traditional health education in our hospital from May 2015 to May 2017 were selected as the control group. Results The care ability of the WeChat health education group was significantly better than that of the traditional health education group (P < 0.05). The care burden of the WeChat health education group was significantly lower than that of the traditional health education group (P < 0.05). The results of the WHOQOL‐BREF showed that the quality of life for WeChat health education group was significantly higher than that for the traditional health education group (P < 0.05). The incidence of complications, including mucosal oedema, allergic dermatitis, faecal dermatitis and avulsion injury, in the WeChat health education group was significantly lower than that in the traditional health education group. Conclusion The implementation of WeChat‐assisted health education for parents of infants after enterostomy can effectively improve parents' care ability, reduce parents' care burden, improve parents' quality of life and reduce the incidence of complications in patients.
