Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of health education model based on mind map and Midnight-Midday ebb flow theory on the compliance of resistance training in stroke patients. Methods From August 2020 to may 2021, a total of 70 patients with ischemic stroke who were hospitalized in Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital were selected as the research objects by using convenience sampling method. According to the random numbers table, the control group (n=35) and the intervention group (n=35) were divided. The control group was given routine oral health education. On this basis, the intervention group was given health education model based on mind map and Midnight-Midday ebb flow theory. The compliance and knowledge of resistance training were compared between the two groups at discharge. Results Before the intervention, there were no statistical significant differences in total score of resistance training compliance, compliance scores of all dimensions, and related rehabilitation knowledge mastery (P>0.05). After the intervention, the scores of each dimension, total score and knowledge mastery of the intervention group were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The health education mode of mind map combined with Midnight-Midday ebb flow theory can improve the resistance training compliance and the mastery of related knowledge and skills in stroke patients.
