Abstract :
This paper is to design an efficient medical information system to enhancehealth behaviors after radical prostatectomy. The subjects of this paper were a total of142 patients who had visited a general hospital located in Metropolitan area. Theresults of this study are as follows. First, for soybean intake, positive change of healthbehaviors diminished the progression rate of prostate cancer(31.24±0.35, t=-0.57,p=.000). Second, this paper found that the health promotion behavior in prostatecancer patients was increased by 69.2-73.6% compared with the previous status.Therefore, systematic adoption of the medical information system to minimize thedamage of prostate cancer will contribute effectively to the rapid disease recovery andprevention.
