Influence of mind mapping on discharge readiness of patients undergoing first coronary stent implantation / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effect of mind mapping on the discharge readiness of patients undergoing first coronary stent implantation, so as to provide basis for seeking effective discharge guidance in clinical practice.Methods:One hundred patients who were hospitalized in the Department of Cardiology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University from December 2019 to August 2020 and who underwent coronary stent implantation for the first time were selected as the study objects. They were divided into the control group and the experimental group with 50 cases in each group by the random number table method. The control group was given routine discharge guidance, and the experimental group was given discharge guidance using mind mapping. Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale and Quality of Discharge Teaching Scale were used to compare the differences of discharge readiness and discharge guidance quality between the two groups after intervention.Results:The personal status, adaptability, predictive support and the total score of discharge readiness in the experimental group were (25.18 ± 3.79), (45.24 ± 3.63), (36.62 ± 3.63), (107.04 ± 8.92) points, which were all higher than those in the control group (23.34 ± 3.04), (41.68 ± 3.62), (35.14 ± 2.14), (100.16 ± 7.36) points, with statistically significant differences ( t values were -4.91--2.48, all P<0.05). The actual acquired content, guiding skills and results, total scores of discharge guidance quality of patients in the experimental group were (56.66 ± 6.06), (94.46 ± 4.33), (151.12 ± 8.26) points, which were all higher than those in the control group (45.38 ± 9.19), (89.44 ± 10.87), (134.82 ± 14.31) points, with statistically significant differences ( t values were -7.25, -3.03, -6.97, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Mind mapping can effectively improve the discharge preparation degree and discharge guidance quality of patients undergoing coronary stent implantation for the first time, and it is a simple and practical discharge guidance tool.
