Objective To discuss the effect of clinical nursing path in interventional cardiology, and its impact on relieve of working pressure in nurses. Methods The interventional cardiology patients who used clinical nursing path were selected as the experimental group from January to December in 2013, and patients who used traditional nursing were selected as the control group from January to December in 2012. The length of hospital stay, the satisfaction of nursing job, as well as the writing time of nursing care records and working pressure were compared between the two groups. Results The average length of hospital stay in the experimental group was (7.8±1.1) days, which was significantly shorter than that in the control group (t=4.828, P<0.01). The satisfaction score of nursing job in the experimental group was (24.6±2.8), which was significantly higher than that in the control group (t=4.739, P<0.01). The nursing care records writing time of each time point in the experimental group nurses was significantly shorter than those in the control group (t=5.869, 5.402, 6.537, 5.618, 4.498, 5.724, respectively; P<0.01). Emotional fatigue and apathy for work of nurses were significantly lower than before, and the personal accomplishment score was significantly higher than before, and the differences were statistically significant (t=4.006, 2.641, 2.333, 2.306, 5.623, respectively; P<0.05). Conclusions Patients with cardiac intervention who used the clinical nursing path cannot only shorten the hospital stay significantly and improve the satisfaction of nursing job, but also can effectively shorten the writing time of the nursing care records, and reduce nurses′ working pressure.
