Does a nurse-led individualized self-management program improve health behaviors, control of cardiac risk factors, and HRQoL in Chinese patients with AMI undergoing PCI?
A nurse-led individualized self-management program improves health behaviors, risk factor control, and quality of life in Chinese patients with AMI post-PCI.
BACKGROUND: The study of the development and evaluation of self-management intervention among patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is lacking, especially in China. AIM: To examine the effects of a nurse-led individualized self-management program (NISMP) on health behaviors, control of cardiac risk factors, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among patients with AMI undergoing PCI. METHODS: = 56). The intervention group underwent the NISMP, which includes six group-based education sessions, a face-to-face individual consultation, and 12-month telephone follow-ups. Data were collected at baseline and at the end of the 12-month program using the Health Promotion Lifestyle Profile, the Risk Factors Assessment Form, and the Short Form 36-item Health Survey. RESULTS: = 0.001). CONCLUSION: The NISMP demonstrated positive effects on health behaviors, control of cardiac risk factors, and HRQoL among Chinese patients with AMI undergoing PCI.
