To investigate the effect of a social media platform for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection.
We enrolled 222 patients from October 2018 to June 2019, who required H pylori therapy. We used WeChat, a social media platform, as a patient reminder tool. They were randomly divided into the intervention and control groups (n = 111 per group) to compare and evaluate their disease awareness, medication adherence, incidence of adverse drug reactions, and H pylori eradication rate.
Patients in the intervention group had significantly better disease-related knowledge, medication adherence, and H pylori eradication rates than those in the control group (P < .05).
Using a social media platform may improve treatment rates of H pylori infection.
研究社交媒体平台在治疗幽门螺杆菌感染中的作用。
我们于 2018 年 10 月至 2019 年 6 月招募了 222 名需要接受幽门螺杆菌治疗的患者。我们使用社交媒体平台微信作为患者提醒工具。将他们随机分为干预组和对照组(每组 111 例),以比较和评估他们的疾病意识、用药依从性、药物不良反应发生率和幽门螺杆菌根除率。
干预组患者在疾病相关知识、用药依从性和幽门螺杆菌根除率方面明显优于对照组(P<0.05)。
使用社交媒体平台可能会提高幽门螺杆菌感染的治疗率。
