ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effects of intervention mapping on cardiopulmonary function for patients with acute heart failure in compensatory period, so as to provide references for their early rehabilitation activities.Methods:A total of 90 patients with acute heart failure admitted to Fuwai Central China Cardiovascular Hospital from October 2018 to October 2019 were enrolled in the present study. They were divided into experimental group and control group according to draw-lots-method, with 45 cases in each group. The control group received the routine care and activity plan, while the experimental group implemented intervention mapping-based stage early rehabilitation program. The indicators included 6MWT, forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) as well as Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ), and the intervention effects were compared between the two groups. Results:There were no significant differences in FEV 1, 6MWT, BNP and MLHFQ scores between the two groups at admission ( P>0.05). On discharge, FEV 1, 6MWT were (2.17±0.44) L, (273.09±55.80) m in the experimental group, significantly higher than (1.94 ± 0.39) L and (236.44 ± 50.99) m in the control group; the plasma BNP were (676.79 ± 78.75) ng/L in the experimental group, significantly lower than (736.05 ± 78.77) ng/L in the control group; in addition, the physical demention, emotional dimenson, other demension scores and total scores of MLHFQ in the experimental group were (65.39 ± 5.02), (67.56 ± 4.99), (66.05 ± 4.16) and (66.33 ± 2.63) points, significantly higher than (59.79 ± 5.94), (64.33 ± 5.93), (62.76 ± 4.47), (62.36 ± 2.98) points in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 2.56-6.51, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Designing and implementing stage early rehabilitation program using intervention mapping can promote cardiopulmonary function and quality of life of patients with acute heart failure in compensatory period.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the application value of advance care planning among patients with chronic heart failure, so as to provide reference for the clinical practice of advance care planning.Methods:A total of 62 chronic heart failure patients from October 2017 to November 2019 in Fuwai Central China Cardiovascular Hospital were assigned to control group and experimental group according to the enrolled time, with 31 cases in each group. The patients in the control group from October 2017 to October 2018 recieved routine nursing, the experimental group from November 2018 to November 2019 carried out advance care planning based on the routine care. Before and after 3 weeks of intervention, the fatigue symptom and psychological condition were assessed by the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI-20) and Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90), respectively.Results:There was no significant difference in the score of MFI-20 and SCL-90 before intervention between the two groups( P>0.05). After 3 weeks of intervention, the mental fatigue scores and total scores in MFI-20 were (8.23 ± 2.77), (51.00 ± 5.03) points in the experimental group, significantly lower than those in the control group (10.23 ± 2.58), (54.06 ± 5.50) points, the differences were statistically significant ( t=2.94, 2.29, all P<0.05). After 3 weeks of intervention, the somatization, obsessive symptoms, depression, anxiety, hostility scores and total score of SCL-90 were (1.28 ± 0.14), (1.43 ± 0.09), (1.19 ± 0.12), (1.13 ± 0.08), (1.33 ± 0.07), (121.00 ± 3.68) points in the experimental group, significantly lower than those in the control group (1.82 ± 0.44), (1.73 ± 0.58), (1.69 ± 0.12), (1.78 ± 0.13), (1.39 ± 0.10), (144.69 ± 9.09) points, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 2.76-23.06, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Advance care planning can effectively alleviate fatigue symptom and improve psychological condition of patients with chronic heart failure.
