ObjectiveTo evaluate the nursing health education for elderly patients with restoration of complete denture by meta-analysis.MethodsWe searched the Joanna Briggs Institute Library, The Cochrane Library, PubMed, CBM, CNKI and WanFang Data from inception to March 2016 to collect RCTs about nursing health education for elderly patients with restoration of complete denture. Two researchers independently screened literatures, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.2 software.ResultsThirteen RCTs including 1 086 elderly patients who underwent restoration of complete denture were included, involving 575 cases in nursing health education group and 511 in normal nursing group. The results of meta-analysis showed that: the total effective rate (RR=1.26, 95%CI 1.12 to 1.41, P<0.000 1), the degree of mastering related knowledge (RR=1.30, 95%CI 1.16 to 1.45, P<0.000 01) and satisfaction of complete denture (voice: MD=0.21, 95%CI 0.09 to 0.32, P=0.000 4; retention: MD=0.18, 95%CI 0.06 to 0.30, P=0.003; comfort: MD=0.43, 95%CI 0.22 to 0.63, P<0.000 1) in health education group were superior to the control group.ConclusionNursing health education is effective for elderly patients with restoration of complete denture. Due to the limited quantity and quality of include studies, the above conclusions are still needed to be verified by more studies.
