Abstract：To design a health education mode for discharged patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) in countryside, and identify its practical effect to provide evidence for patients’ self-management. Methods The self-management health education mode was redesigned for CHD patients in countryside through changing health education methods. CHD patients (n=97) in countryside discharged from hospital were chosen into test group from July 2016 to Mar. 2017, and self-management health education mode was redesigned for them. Other CHD patients (n=101) were chosen and routine health education mode was applied for them in the same period. The scores of health knowledge and self-management behaviors, and compliance number of self-management patients were compared between 2 groups. Results The scores of health knowledge were higher in test group than those in control group after discharged for 3 months, 6 months and 12 months (P<0.05). The scores of self-management behaviors, and compliance number of self-management patients were superior in test group to those in control group after discharged for 6 months and 12 months (P<0.05). Conclusion The self-management health education mode design especially for discharged CHD patients in countryside can improve scores of health knowledge and self-management behaviors, and self-management ability with higher effectiveness.
