Abstract
Background: Acute myocardial infarction is the myocardial necrosis caused by acute and persistent ischemia and hypoxia of coronary arteries. It can be complicated with arrhythmia, shock or heart failure, and often can endanger life. The disease is most common in Europe and the United States, where about 1.5 million heart attacks occur each year. China has shown a clear upward trend in recent years, with at least 500 000 new cases and at least 2 million new cases every year. Cardiac rehabilitation nursing is a kind of comprehensive nursing that aims to restore the body function of patients with myocardial infarction.
Objective: To explore the therapeutic effect of cardiac rehabilitation nursing in patients with myocardial infarction.
Design: This was a case-control retrospective study.
Setting: This study was conducted in the Department of Heart Center, Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital.
Participants: 86 patients with acute myocardial infarction admitted to the Heart Center of Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital from January 2019 to August 2022 were selected and randomly divided into observation and control groups, with 43 cases in each group. Patients aged from 40-79 years old and were confirmed to have acute myocardial infarction by examination and histopathological analysis.
Interventions: The observation group was given cardiac rehabilitation nursing, including psychological nursing, rehabilitation training, cardiac rehabilitation training, diet and defecation care and health education, and the control group was assigned routine nursing.
Primary outcome measures: (1) anxiety and depression were assessed by Zung's self-rating anxiety scale and self-rating depression scale (2) cardiac function was assessed by left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular end-diastolic volume (3) 6-minute walk distance (4) incidence of complications (5) length of hospital stay (6) levels of inflammatory factors and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide concentration (7) incidence of arrhythmia.
Results: After the intervention, there was still no significance in either group's left ventricular end-diastolic volume level [(72.24±8.47) vs (71.98±8.35)] (P = .473). However, the anxiety and depression scores [(42.10±5.17) and (44.01±4.53) vs (44.01±4.53) and (51.37±4.85)], complication rate (6.9% vs 16.2%), length of hospital stay [(18.66±7.03) vs (26.11±8.14)], inflammatory factor levels [(1.95±0.51) and (319.47±33.72) vs (2.71±0.45) and (451.07±39.54)], serum N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide level [(2525.8±1236.5) vs (3064.4±859.0)], and incidence of arrhythmia (3 cases, 2 cases, 1 case and 1 case vs 5 cases, 6 cases, 8 cases and 7 vases) in the observation group were lower compared to the control group (P = .000, P = .002, P=0.023, P = .045, P = .032, P = .011, and P = .027). The left ventricular ejection fraction level and 6-minute walk distance of the observation group [(60.39±5.38) and (347.31±21.01) vs (54.97±6.24) and (320.24±21.71)] were better relative to the control group (P = .037 and P = .000).
Conclusion: For patients with myocardial infarction, the implementation of cardiac rehabilitation nursing can effectively alleviate the anxiety and depression of patients, decrease the incidence of complications as well as inflammatory factors levels, and further shorten the hospital stay of patients, with high safety. Our study provides a clinical reference for patients with myocardial infarction w who need nursing care.
期刊介绍:
Launched in 1995, Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine has a mission to promote the art and science of integrative medicine and a responsibility to improve public health. We strive to maintain the highest standards of ethical medical journalism independent of special interests that is timely, accurate, and a pleasure to read. We publish original, peer-reviewed scientific articles that provide health care providers with continuing education to promote health, prevent illness, and treat disease. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine was the first journal in this field to be indexed in the National Library of Medicine. In 2006, 2007, and 2008, ATHM had the highest impact factor ranking of any independently published peer-reviewed CAM journal in the United States—meaning that its research articles were cited more frequently than any other journal’s in the field.
Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine does not endorse any particular system or method but promotes the evaluation and appropriate use of all effective therapeutic approaches. Each issue contains a variety of disciplined inquiry methods, from case reports to original scientific research to systematic reviews. The editors encourage the integration of evidence-based emerging therapies with conventional medical practices by licensed health care providers in a way that promotes a comprehensive approach to health care that is focused on wellness, prevention, and healing. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine hopes to inform all licensed health care practitioners about developments in fields other than their own and to foster an ongoing debate about the scientific, clinical, historical, legal, political, and cultural issues that affect all of health care.
