The impact of periodic intervention on the self-care ability of patients with cardiovascular disease after discharge

Abstract

Objective To explore the impact of periodic intervention on the self-care ability of patients with cardiovascular disease after discharge. Methods A total of 128 cases of patients with cardiovascular disease in our hospital from June 2014 to June 2015 were selected as the research objects and were divided into observation group and control group with draw method, 64 cases in each group.The control group received routine care, while the observation group received motivational interviewing and phased intervention.The changes of self-care ability and quality of life of two groups were compared after 6 months' follow-up visits. Results The compliance rates of diet, anti-tobacco and anti-alcohol, exercise and medication of patients of the observation group were all higher than that of the control group(P<0.05). The self-concept, self-care skills, self-responsibility, health knowledge and total scores of the observation group were higher than that of the control group(P<0.05). The overall health, physiology function, physical function, social function, mental health, emotional function and other scores of the observation group were significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05). Conclusions The stage intervention can improve self-care ability after discharge for patients with cardiovascular disease, and can improve the quality of life of patients.
