Effect of nursing strategies by introduction of cross-theoretical model on smoking cessation belief in patients with coronary heart disease

Abstract

Objective To analyze the effect of the cross theory model nursing strategy on the smoking cessation belief in patients with coronary heart disease and smoking behavior. Methods 57 patients with coronary heart disease who received medical treatment at our hospital from April, 2015 to March 2016, were set as a control group, and treated with traditional nursing intervention. 60 patients with coronary heart disease treated at our hospital from April, 2016 to March, 2017 were set as a research Group; and on the basis of traditional nursing intervention, the nursing strategy of cross theory model was introduced. Both groups were evaluated by the self-made diabetes and smoking belief scale before and 1 month after the intervention. The behavior stages of the two groups 12 months after the intervention were compared. Results The scores of smoking and coronary heart disease treatment, smoking and weight gain, smoking cessation and coronary heart disease control in the research group were (13.2 ± 1.7), (11.5 ± 1.8) and (6.3 ± 0.9), which were lower than those in the control group [(18.5 ± 3.0), (14.3 ± 1.9) and (11.5 ± 1.6)]. 37, 8, and 6 patients in the study group and 10, 5, and 1 in the control group were improved 1, 2, and 3 stages, respectively. Conclusions For patients with coronary heart disease and smoking behavior, it is possible to introduce a trans-theoretical model nursing strategy to improve their belief in quitting smoking and to obtain a considerable clinical effect.
