Abstract
BACKGROUND

Purpura nephritis, also called Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis, is a systemic disease with small dead vasculitis as the main pathological change.

AIM

To observe the influence of transitional nursing activities on the compliance behaviors and disease knowledge of children with purpura nephritis.

METHODS

A total of 82 children with purpura nephritis were included and divided into a general nursing group (41 children) and transitional nursing group (41 children) using the envelope method. The general nursing group received routine nursing care, while the transitional nursing group received transitional nursing care. The behaviors, knowledge of the disease, and self-management ability of the two groups were evaluated after nursing care was provided.

RESULTS

The scores of four items (self-care ability, self-responsibility, health knowledge level, and self-concept) in the transitional nursing group were significantly higher than those in the general nursing group.

CONCLUSION

Transitional nursing can directly improve the disease knowledge level and self-management ability of children with purpura nephritis and effectively reduce complications.

Keywords: Purpura nephritis; Transitional nursing; Self-management ability; Compliance behavior; Knowledge of the disease; Comparative study

Core Tip: Studies have shown that conventional nursing can help children effectively control the progression of their disease in clinical practice, but it is often impossible for children to effectively manage themselves after hospital discharge.
