Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of continuity of care (COC) on the quality of life and medication compliance of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted in 98 patients with STEMI that were treated in our hospital from January 2017 to December 2018. The 98 cases were assigned to a control group given routine nursing and an experimental group given routine nursing combined with COC according to different nursing approaches. The quality of life and medication compliance in the two groups were compared. RESULTS: Higher role-emotional (RE) scores were observed in the control group after nursing (P<0.05). Compared to results before nursing as well as the control group, the experimental group obtained higher quality of life scores in the dimensions of physical functioning (PF), role-physical (RP), bodily pain (BP), general health (GH), vitality (VT), social functioning (SF), RE, mental health (MH), and better medication compliance after the implementation of COC (P<0.05). Compared to the control group, the experimental group showed a markedly lower incidence of minor bleeding and arrhythmia, a higher nursing satisfaction, and a higher excellent and good rate of cardiac function (P<0.05). The experimental group outperformed the control group in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and 6-min walking distance (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: COC improves the quality of life, medication compliance, and nursing satisfaction of STEMI patients, and reduces adverse events. AJTR
