Objective To study the effect of rehabilitation nursing on postoperative recovery of patients with coronary heart disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods A total of 76 patients with coronary heart disease who underwent PCI in our hospital were divided into control group(routine nursing) and observation group(rehabilitation nursing) according to simple random sampling method. The left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), ejection fraction (EF), Barthel Index(BI) of Daily Life Scale, Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Short-form Health Status Questionnaire (SF-6) scores were evaluated and analyzed.
Results Before operation, there were no significant differences in LVEDD and EF between the two groups(P > 0.05). After operation, the LVEDD of the observation group was significantly lower, and the EF was significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Before nursing, there were no significant differences in BI, SAS and SDS scores between the two groups (P > 0.05); after nursing, BI increased significantly, and SAS and SDS scores decreased significantly in two groups, and the observation group was significantly better than that of the control group (P < 0.05). After nursing, the scores of life quality in physiology, social function, mental and physical health in the two groups increased, and the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion Rehabilitation nursing can promote the recovery, enhance the quality of life, and improve the prognosis of patients with coronary heart disease after PCI.
