Abstract: Objective: To explore the application effects of empowerment education program in caregivers of children with congenital megacolon enterostomy. Methods: Totally 56 children with congenital megacolon who underwent enterostomy and their caregivers in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2021 were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, with 28 cases in each group. The control group received routine health education during hospitalization, and the experimental group received empowerment education on this basis. The care ability scores of the main caregivers of the two groups and the incidence of postoperative complications were compared. Results: After 3 months of intervention, the scores of five dimensions of main caregivers in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Empowerment education is helpful to enhance the care ability of caregivers of children with congenital megacolon enterostomy, promote them to deal with problems in a positive way, reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications, and then improve the health outcome of children.
