Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the application and value of continuous nursing after coronary artery bypass grafting.
METHODS
The clinical data of 62 patients after coronary artery bypass grafting from January 2016 to January 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the nursing mode, the patients were divided into two groups: the continuous nursing group (n = 30) and the conventional nursing group (n = 32). All patients completed Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) at admission and 1 year after operation. All patients completed Seattle Angina Pectoris Questionnaire (SAQ) at discharge and 1 year after operation.
RESULTS
All patients were followed up for more than one year. One year after operation, SAQ score in five items in continuous nursing group was significantly better than that in conventional nursing group.(P < 0.05) The continuous nursing group exhibited significantly decreased SAS and SDS scores 1 year after surgery compared to the preoperative SAS and SDS scores.(P < 0.05) The SAS and SDS scores of the continuous nursing group were significantly better than those of the conventional nursing group 1 year after surgery.(P < 0.05) Then incidence rate of chest tightness or chest pain and coronary restenosis in continuous nursing group were significantly less than that in conventional nursing group.(P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
Continuous nursing improved patient compliance with treatment and reduces the occurrence of complications. The patient also receives proper psychological evaluations, which relieve patient anxiety and depression and improve the quality of life.
