Objective To improve the effect of and satisfaction with health education in patients undergoing interventional therapy for cerebrovascular disorders. Methods A total of 84 patients with cerebrovascular disorders undergoing interventional treatment were assigned to a control group or an observation group chronologically, with 42 cases in each group.The control group was given routine education either verbally or using small cards, while their counterparts in the observation group had access to and could watch an educational video on their smartphones by scanning a QR code for multiple times.The effect was evaluated at postoperative 24 h. Results After the intervention, the observation group had significantly higher endovascular treatment knowledge, therapeutic compliance and patient satisfaction with health education compared with the control group (P＜0.05,P＜0.01). Conclusion The application of QR code-based video education in patients undergoing endovascular treatment for cerebrovascular disorders can effectively help patients master disease related knowledge, thus to enhance therapeutic compliance and satisfaction with health education.
