Abstract
Objective To investigate the effect of continuing nursing care on the compliance of antiplatelet therapy for patients after percutaneus coronary intervention (PCI). Methods A total of 129 patients after percutaneus coronary intervention were randomly divided into two groups: experimental group (74 cases) and control group (55 cases). Both groups received general nursing; meanwhile, patients in the experimental group received continuing nursing care. Compliance of antiplatelet therapy was compared between two groups at 6 months and 12 months after PCI. Results The effective rate on compliance of antiplatelet therapy in the experimental group was significantly better than that in of the control group at 6 months (97.1% vs 84.0%; χ2=4.76, P<0.05) and 12 months (96.9% vs 82.6%; χ2=4.98, P<0.05) after PCI. Conclusions Continuing nursing care can increase compliance of antiplatelet therapy for patients after PCI. Key words: Continuing nursing care; Percutaneus coronary intervention; Antiplatelet; Compliance
