Abstract:Objective To explore the effect of continuous nursing in patients with heart failure.Methods A total of 120 hospitalized patients with heart failure admitted to our hospital from January 2016 to July 2017 were selected and divided into control group and nursing group according to the order of treatment,with 60 cases in each group.The control group received routine nursing intervention while the nursing group received continuous nursing intervention.The selfcare ability (SCHFI)and health behavior(HPLP)scores were compared between the two groups one day before discharge and 1,3,6 months after discharge,and the recurrence rate of heart failure in the 6-month follow-up period after discharge was counted.Results There was no significant difference in SCHFI score between the two groups before discharge (P>0.05).SCHFI scores of patients in the nursing group were higher than those in the control group at 1,3 and 6 months after discharge,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.001).There was no significant difference in HPLP scores between the two groups before discharge (P>0.05).The HPLP scores of patients in the nursing group were higher than those in the control group at 1,3 and 6 months after discharge,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.001).The recurrence rate of heart failure in the nursing group was significantly lower than that in the control group after one month of nursing,one to three months of discharge,and three to six months of discharge,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The application of continuous nursing in patients with heart failure can obviously improve their self-care ability and health behavior level,and obviously reduce the acute attack of heart failure.
