Evidence-based nursing for patients receiving percutaneous coronary intervention in perioperative period：evaluation of patient’s comfortableness / 介入放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effect of evidence- based nursing for patients receiving percutaneous coronary intervention and stent implantation. Methods A total of 136 patients with coronary heart disease were randomly divided into the intervention group (n = 68) and the control group (n = 68). Traditional nursing measures were employed for the patients of the control group , while evidence-based nursing intervention was adopted for the patients of the intervention group. The patient’s comfortableness, satisfaction and the occurrence of complications were determined at 24, 48 and 72 hours after the operation, and the results were compared between the two groups. Results At 24, 48 and 72 h after percutaneous coronary intervention, the each dimension score of GCQ and the total score of the intervention group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). The occurrence of back pain, urinary retention and hypotension in the intervention group was significantly lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05). Patient’s satisfaction extent of the intervention group was significantly better than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Evidence-based nursing intervention can effectively enhance the nursing skill and orientation, and reduce the occurrence of back pain, urinary retention and hypotension, thus improve patient’s comfortableness and satisfaction. Therefore, evidence - based nursing intervention should be recommended in clinical practice.
