RESUMO
Objective To explore the influence of social support on compliance of respiratory function exercise and rehabilitation in patients with coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Methods A total of 102 patients with coronary artery bypass graft surgery were evaluated by General Data Survey Scale,Social Support Questionnaire and Compliance of Respiratory Function Exercise Scale.According to the situation of patients′social support, patients were divided into high score group,medium score group and low score group, then compliance of respiratory function exercise,postoperative ICU stay time, postoperative ventilation time, postoperative hospital stay, 6-min walking test (6MWD) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were compared among three groups. Results The social support of patients with coronary artery bypass graft surgery in medium level,the score was (34.70 ±7.46) points. The postoperative ventilation time, postoperative ICU stay time in high score group were less than those in medium score group and low score group:(17.79±5.30) h vs. (42.41±14.18), (80.00±11.15) h, (24.29±6.00) h vs. (55.66±16.31), (92.46±10.21) h, and there were significant differences, F=47.340,110.252,P<0.01. The compliance of respiratory function exercise,6MWD and LVEF in high score group were better than those in medium score group and low score group:(38.93±24.37) points vs.(30.26±4.79), (19.85±4.45) points, (376.07±55.92) m vs. (328.83±59.27), (302.04±60.24) m, (60±4)%vs. (53±9)%, (51±10)%, and there were significant differences, F=286.040, 55.228, 20.159,P < 0.01. Conclusions Social support can improve the patients′adherence to treatment, and enhance the patients′ability to cope with stressful events,then accelerate the process of postoperative rehabilitation of patients effectively,and improve quality of life.
