Effect of health belief model as a framework for nursing intervention on life quality of children with congenital heart disease

Abstract

Objective To explore the effect of health belief model as a framework for nursing intervention on life quality of congenital heart disease children with interventional therapy.Methods Sixty congenital heart disease children with interventional therapy were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group,each with 30 cases.The control group received the routine health education in the department of cardiology,and the observation group received the health belief model as a framework for nursing intervention on the basis of the control group.The effectiveness of intervention was evaluated by the pediatric quality of life inventory TM 3.0 cardiac module (PedsQLTM3.0 cardiac module) before,the first and third month after the interventional therapy.Results The scores of PedsQLTM3.0 cardiac module,the treatment of anxiety and commutation were respectively (71.74 ± 2.35),(75.00 ± 6.08),(68.12 ± 5.52) in the observation group,and were higher than (68.60 ± 2.69),(70.54 ± 7.53),(57.58 ± 6.35) in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant (F =7.581,11.080,32.459,respectively; P ＜ 0.05).Theinteraction between time and intervention programs displayed that the cognitive dimension was affected by the interaction,and the difference was statistically significant (F =28.225,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The interventional therapy can improve the life quality of children with congenital heart disease.Compared with the routine health education in the Department of Cardiology,the health belief model as a framework for nursing intervention can improve the life quality of congenital heart disease children with interventional therapy and should be widely applied in clinical practice.
