Objective To explore the application effect of continuous nursing intervention based on information-knowl-edge-attitude-practice(IKAP)theory in patients with lower limb varicose veins.Methods A total of 120 patients with lower limb varicose veins admitted to Jiujiang University Affiliated Hospital from March 2021 to March 2023 were selected as the research objects,and they were divided into the control group(60 cases)and the observation group(60 cases)according to random number table methed.The nursing time of both groups was 3 months.The health knowledge level,self-management behavior score,complication rate,recurrence rate and quality of life level were compared between the two groups.Results The scores of health knowledge level in the observation group were higher than those in the control group after nursing,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The self-management behavior scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group after nursing,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The compli-cation rate and recurrence rate of the observation group were lower than those of the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The scores of the MOS item short from health survey(SF-36)in the observation group were higher than those in the control group after nursing,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Con-clusion The extended care mode based on IKAP theory can effectively improve the health knowledge of patients with lower limb varicose veins,promote their health-related behaviors,improve their quality of life,and reduce complications and readmission rates.
