Application effects of cognitive behavioral intervention in elderly patients with heart failure
Objective:To observe application effects of cognitive behavioral intervention in elderly patients with heart failure.Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 80 elderly patients with heart failure admitted to the hospital from January 2020 to April 2021.According to the random number table method,they were divided into control group and observation group,40 cases in each group.The control group was given routine nursing,while the observation group was given cognitive behavioral intervention on the basis of that of the control group.The nursing compliance rate,the negative emotions[self-rating anxiety scale(SAS),self-rating depression scale(SDS)]scores,the quality of life[world health organization quality of life inventory(WHOQOL-100)]score before and after the nursing,and the rehospitalization rate were compared between the two groups.Results:The nursing compliance rate of the observation group was 97.50%(39/40),which was higher than 80.00%(32/40)of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After the nursing,the SAS score and SDS score of the two groups were lower than those before the nursing,those of the observation group were lower than those of the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The WHOQOL-100 scores of mental health,physical health,social relations and surrounding environment in the two groups were higher than those before the nursing,those in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Further,the rehospitalization rate of the observation group was 2.50%(1/40),which was lower than 22.50%(9/40)of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusions:On the basis of the routine nursing,the cognitive behavioral intervention can improve the routine nursing compliance rate and the quality of life scores of the elderly patients with heart failure,and reduce the negative emotion scores and the rehospitalization rate.Moreover,it is superior to single routine nursing.
