Application value of amlodipine/atorvastatin combined with evidence-based emotional nursing mode in elderly patients with hypertension complicated by coronary heart disease
Objective To investigate the application value of amlodipine atorvastatin calcium tablet(AACT)combined with evidence-based emotional nursing mode(EENM)in elderly patients with hypertension complicated by coronary heart disease(HTN-CHD).Methods HTN-CHD patients admitted to the department of cardiology of The Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from June 2021 to June 2023 were selected retrospectively as study subjects.According to the intervention methods,the HTN-CHD patients were divided into the AACT group and the EENM group.Patients in the AACT group were given AACT combined with the usual care intervention,and the EENM group was given EENM on the basis of the AACT group.The changes of psychological status(SDS,SAS,and SPBS),adherence(medication compliance,daily exercise behavior,poor management behavior,and dietary management behavior)and blood pressure[(systolic blood pressure,SBP)and diastolic blood pressure(DBP)]were compared between two groups.The incidence of cardiovascular events in the two groups at 6 months was observed and compared.Results A total of 118 HTN-CHD patients(55 in AACT group and 63 in EENM group)were included in this study.Before the intervention,there was no significant statistical difference in the SDS,SAS,SPBS,medication compliance,daily exercise,poor management,diet management scores,SBP and DBP between AACT and EENM groups(P>0.05).After the intervention,SDS,SAS,SPBP scores,SBP and DBP of the HTN-CHD patients significantly decreased in both AACT and EENM groups compared with before(P<0.05).However,the medication compliance behavior score,daily exercise behavior score,bad management behavior score and diet management behavior score increased significantly compared with before(P<0.05);SDS,SAS,SPBS scores,SBP and DBP of the patients in EENM group decreased more than those in the AACT group(P<0.05),however,the increase of medication compliance,daily exercise,poor management and diet management behavior scores of the EENM group was higher than that in the AACT group(P<0.05).Furthermore,the incidence of cardiovascular events was lower in the EENM group than in the AACT group(P<0.05).Conclusion EENM combined with AACT intervention is beneficial to improve the compliance with HTN-CHD patients,improve the psychological status and blood pressure values,and reduce the incidence of cardiovascular events.
