Results Before the intervention, the difference score of living quality and cognitive lever in the two groups has no statistical significance (P > 0.05), and after intervention, the cognition lever and the three aspects of risk factors, anticoagulant knowledge and treatment methods of research group scored (28.47 ± 7.63), (7.38 ± 2.48), (6.82±2.73), (3.64±1.59) points which were significantly higher than the control group scored (20.54±5.49), (4.31±2.14), (3.72±1.62), (2.18±1.36) points (t=7.635, 8.469, 8.822, 6.299, P<0.01),the quality of life and four dimensions of daily life ability, pain, social activities, mental scored ( 37.04 ± 7.08), [9.00 (5.00, 11.00)],(9.04 ± 1.55),(5.52 ± 1.59),(14.00 ± 3.06) points which showed great improvement than the control group scored [49.50(39.75-59.25)], [11.50 (6.75, 16.00)], (10.05 ± 1.65), (7.95 ± 2.19), (19.18 ± 3.88) points. There were significant difference in the quality of life and four dimensions between the two groups. (Z=-3.558,-2.143, t=2.102, 4.274, 4.991, P<0.05 or 0.01).
