Effect of continuing nursing on the self-care ability and health behavior of patients after percutaneous coronary artery stent implantation

Objective: To investigate the effects of continuing nursing on the self-care ability and health behavior of patients after percutaneous coronary artery stent implantation.Methods: One hundred and fifty-eight patients treated with percutaneous coronary artery stent implantation were divided into the control group(treatment with traditional outpatient follow-up mode,79 cases) and observation group(treatment with continuous nursing follow-up mode,79 cases),and followed up for 1 year.The self-care ability and health behavior in two groups before and after follow-up were evaluated using the self-care ability determination table and health behavior scale,respectively.Related knowledge and satisfaction between two groups were analyzed.Results: After 1 year of follow-up,the scores of selfcare ability and health behavior in two groups significantly increased(P< 0.01).After 1 year of follow-up,the scores of self-care ability and health behavior in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group(P< 0.01),and the related knowledge and satisfaction in observation group were significantly better than those in control group(P< 0.01).Conclusions: Continuing nursing can significantly improve the self-care ability and health behavior of patients after percutaneous coronary artery stent implantation.
