Results Relevant data with different periods of patients with repeated measurement data analysis of variance, discharge for 3 months, 6 months and 1 year, compared with the control group, the medication compliance of the observation group increased obviously, the SAS and SDS scores decreased obviously, the differences were statistically significant (t=1.432, 2.781, 1.432, 2.781, 2.504, 3.783, 2.761, 4.621, 4.884, all P 0.05).1 year after discharge, compared with the control group, the movement and exercise, interpersonal relationships, nutrition, health responsibility, self-actualization, stress management scores in the observation group significantly increased, the differences were statistically significant(t=2.463, 3.146, 2.463, 3.146, 2.633, 2.115, all P<0.05).
