Abstract:  Medical behavior management is an intervention and management science to the patient's mental and physical activity from the medical point of view, which includes the two modes of KAB (knowledge-attitude-behavior) and KAP (knowledge-attitude-practice). Based on the patient's full understanding of the treatment principle, these methods establish the patient's correct opinions of the disease, which will ensure the patient's mental and physical maximum extent cooperation during the actual treatment process. The medical behavior management is mainly used for the children treatment to improve the pediatric patient's compliance and improve the treatment safety and effect. Medical behavior management is required in each step of the orthokeratology. We are trying to apply the medical behavior management (KAB and KAP) to the orthokeratology in current paper. The medical behavior management is playing a guiding role in the doctor-patient communication, fitting, pick-wearing education, follow-up review. In addition, the statistical analysis was also performed on results such as the patient's knowledge and understanding before and after practitioners's good explanation, the practitioner's assessment to the patient's complying. The results show that the medical behavior management plays a positive guiding role for the orthokeratology treatment. (Ophthalmol CHN, 2014, 23: 292-294)
