Effect of comprehensive nursing on patients with arrhythmia after acute myocardial infarction / 心血管康复医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective: To study effect of comprehensive nursing on patients with arrhythmia after acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods: According to random number table, a total of 100 patients with arrhythmias after AMI were selected in our hospital, and randomly and equally divided into routine nursing group and comprehensive nursing group (received comprehensive nursing based on routine nursing).NYHA cardiac function class, incidence rate of arrhythmia, standard reaching rate of health knowledge, mean bed time, mean length of hospital stay, mean hospitalization fee and satisfaction were compared and analyzed between two groups after treatment.Results: Compared with routine nursing group after treatment, there was significant rise in percentage of NYHA class I (24% vs.54%), and significant reductions in percentages of NYHA class III (38% vs.12%) and IV (10% vs.4%),P<0.05 or<0.01;significant reductions in incidence rate of arrhythmia (64% vs.12%), mean bed time[(5.01±0.63) d vs.(2.88±0.65) d], mean length of hospital stay[(16.15±2.00) d vs.(10.00±1.22) d]and mean hospitalization fee[(6984.95±652.30)RMB vs.(5274.95±632.30)RMB], and significant rise in standard reaching rate of health knowledge (72% vs.96%) and treatment satisfaction (80% vs.96%) in comprehensive nursing group, P<0.05 or<0.01.Conclusion: Comprehensive nursing can effectively improve therapeutic effect and shorten length of hospital stay in patients with arrhythmia after acute myocardial infarction, and it is worth extending.
