Abstract
Background: Elderly patients with coronary heart disease often suffer adverse psychological reactions, such as anxiety and depression. The dual-track interactive nursing model is a nursing intervention aimed to provide specific and community nursing. For patients with chronic diseases, this model can improve the patients’ self-management and rehabilitation. The effect of this model on the mental health of patients with chronic diseases has been unanimously recognized by researchers. In this study, a dual-track interactive nursing model intervention was conducted on the anxiety and depression in elderly patients with coronary heart disease to verify the psychological effect of the model.
Subjects and methods: From June 2018 to June 2019, 136 elderly patients with coronary heart disease (mean age of 63.5±8.26 years) from three communities in Changsha, Hunan Province, China were selected as subjects. A total of 53 and 50 patients were identified in the intervention and the control groups, respectively. The control group underwent routine longitudinal referral, whereas the intervention group was subjected to a two-track interactive nursing model intervention. The Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36) and related questionnaires were used to monitor and compare the two groups before and after the intervention and employed for scoring and comparative analysis.
Results: After the intervention, the mental health scores of the intervention group in total score, somatization, obsessive–compulsive symptoms, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, and paranoia are significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). The intervention group has scored significantly higher in coping style but significantly lower in negative coping than the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusions: The application of the dual-track interactive nursing model intervention in the management of patients with coronary heart disease can improve the self-management and the mental health of patients with coronary heart disease.
