The effects of continuity nursing on self-care ability and mental state of patients with coronary heart disease after percutaneous coronary intervention

Objective:To investigate the effects of continuity nursing on self-care ability and mental state of patients with coronary heart disease after percutaneous coronary intervention.Methods:Five hundred and six patients with coronary heart disease after PCI were randomly divided into observation group and control group,253 cases in each.The control group patients were given routine nursing,the observation group patients were given continuity nursing on this basis.The rehabilitation knowledge,the self-care ability,the risk factors control compliance,the mental state and the life quality was compared between the two groups.Results:After nursing intervention 3,6 and 12 months,the rehabilitation knowledge score and the self-care ability score of the observation group patients were evidently higher than that in control group(P<0.01).After nursing intervention 3,6 and 12 months,the compliance rates of the exercise,the low density lipoprotein,the quit smoking,the fasting blood glucose and the blood pressure control of the observation group patients were markedly higher than that in control group(P<0.01).After nursing intervention 3,6 and 12 months,the anxiety score in the observation group patients was obviously lower than that of control group(P<0.01).After nursing intervention 12 months,The score of each dimension in life quality in the observation group patients was observably higher than that of control group(P<0.01).After nursing intervention 12 months,the diastolic blood pressure,the systolic blood pressure,the low density lipoprotein cholesterol,the triglyceride and the total cholesterol in the observation group patients were clearly lower than that of control group(P<0.01).Conclusions:The continuity nursing can effectually improve the self-care ability,the mental state and the life quality of patients with coronary heart disease after PCI.
