Health education interventions in hospitals represent a factor of major influence with regard to the effectiveness of treatment and the prevention of relapse. A purposeful health education system aimed at patients, their families and friends has therefore been developed in the USSR after due experimentation. As regards patients, focus is placed on raising their level of knowledge about adequate health behaviour during hospitalization and after discharge, in order to prevent relapses, acute states and complications. Topics covered include regimen, diet, physical exercise, developing resistance to cold, giving up harmful habits (smoking, for example), etc. This includes individual, semi individual, semi group and group activities at all stages of the patient's stay in hospital. The mass media supplements this approach through hospital radio and TV programmes and popular scientific literature from the hospital library. For patients' relatives and friends, a programme of individual talks has been developed. Another facet of health education involves correspondence with patients and their relatives, to whom special leaflets are distributed. Preliminary evaluation carried out by public health administrators and health education workers indicates that the system yields satisfactory results.
医院中的健康教育干预措施是影响治疗效果和预防复发的一个主要因素。因此，苏联在经过适当试验后，针对患者及其家人和朋友制定了一个有目的的健康教育体系。对于患者，重点是提高他们在住院期间和出院后对适当健康行为的认识水平，以预防复发、急性发作和并发症。涵盖的主题包括养生法、饮食、体育锻炼、增强耐寒能力、戒除有害习惯（如吸烟等）等。这包括患者住院期间各个阶段的个人、半个人、半集体和集体活动。大众媒体通过医院广播和电视节目以及医院图书馆的科普读物来补充这种方式。针对患者的亲属和朋友，制定了个人谈话计划。健康教育的另一个方面是与患者及其亲属通信，并向他们分发特别的传单。公共卫生管理人员和健康教育工作者进行的初步评估表明，该体系产生了令人满意的效果。
