Objective To analyze and explore the effect of behavior change theory nursing mode on theself-management behavior of patients with knee osteoarthritis. Methods Forty patients with knee osteoarthritis whowere treated in our hospital from 2020 to 2021 were selected as the observation objects. They were randomlydivided into the observation group and the control group. The control group adopted the conventional nursing mode,and the observation group adopted the behavior change theory nursing mode. The self-management ability, painand improvement of knee joint function before and after nursing were compared between the two groups. ResultsThere was little difference in all data before nursing (P>0.05). After nursing, the self-management scores of theobservation group in terms of psychological and social adaptation, drug management, diet management andsymptom management were higher than those of the control group. The degree of pain was lower than that of thecontrol group, and the improvement of knee joint function was better than that of the control group. The differencewas statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The nursing model based on behavior change theory caneffectively improve the clinical symptoms of patients with knee osteoarthritis, improve self-management behavior,and reduce pain. It is worth popularizing and applying in clinical nursing.
