Improvement in Quality of Life and Activities of Daily Living in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis with the Use of Health Education and Patient Health Empowerment

Abstract: Background The management of quality of life (QoL) in patients with cirrhosis is important due to the chronic nature of compensated cirrhosis. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of health education using health empowerment theory in patients with liver cirrhosis. Material/Methods Between January 2014 and November 2014, 30 patients who were hospitalized with liver cirrhosis patients were recruited to the study, as the study group. Health education was conduc… Show more

“…Goldworthy et al ( 19 ) demonstrated the utility of a video‐based educational intervention, improving knowledge assessment questionnaires from 25.0% to 66.7% before and after intervention, respectively. Zhang et al ( 20 ) showed that modifying patient education with a focus on patient empowerment yields statistically significant improvement in patient disease management knowledge and improvement in activities of daily living scores in a study of 60 patients. Zandi et al ( 21 ) found that educational sessions on the nature of cirrhosis, coping strategies for symptoms/comorbidities, and therapies for treatment side effects resulted in increased patient quality of life and decreased fatigue, anxiety, and abdominal symptoms.…”

“…The increased VO 2max and functional capacity bene ts from performing aerobic exercise [19] and progressive resistance training [20] had a signi cant impact on improved QOL in liver disease patients. In addition, liver disease patients who received health empowerment education, including clinical symptoms, diet, and nutrition, were shown to have improved cognitive levels, activities of daily living, and QOL [21,22]. With regard to symptoms and performing exercise, one study reported that LC patients commonly had impairments in maximal exercise capacity and pulmonary gas exchange abnormalities [23] and that the subsequent fatigue can alter their aerobic capacity.…”
