Effects of refined nursing combined with continuous nursing on medical compliance behavior and quali-ty of life in elderly patients with chronic heart failure
Objective:To study the effects of refined nursing combined with continuous nursing on medical compli-ance behavior and quality of life in elderly patients with chronic heart failure(CHF).Methods:A total of 120 aged CHF patients treated in our Department of Cardiology from Feb 2019 to Feb 2021 were selected.According to ran-dom number table method,they were equally divided into control group(given routine nursing intervention)and study group(given refined nursing combined with continuous nursing),both groups were intervened for 2 months.Scores of mental status scale in non-psychiatric settings(MSSNS),mini-mental state examination(MMSE),med-ical compliance behavior questionnaire,and Minnesota living with heart failure questionnaire(MLHFQ)were com-pared between the two groups before and after intervention.Results:After intervention,compared with control group,there were significant reductions in scores of MSSNS[(61.02±2.97)points vs.(55.81±3.38)points]and MLHFQ[(58.90±3.49)points vs.(41.70±2.80)points],and significant rise in MMSE score[(25.61±3.32)points vs.(29.68±3.51)points]in study group;and significant rise in percentages of compliance to regular return visit,appropriate rehabilitation exercise,medication,diet and emotion stabilization in study group,P<0.05 or<0.01.Conclusion:Refined nursing combined with continuous nursing can significantly improve the mental state,medical compliance behavior and quality of life in elderly patients with chronic heart failure during the treatment.
