Abstract
OBJECTIVE
This paper aims to explore the effects of predictive nursing on the treatment efficacy in unstable angina pectoris (UAP) patients and on their treatment compliance and quality of life (QOL).
METHODS
Admitted to our hospital from November 2017 to August 2019, 110 UAP patients were recruited as the study cohort and randomized into a control group (CG) and an observation group (OG). Among them, 53 patients in the CG underwent routine nursing, and the remaining 57 patients in the OG underwent additional predictive nursing in addition to the routine nursing. The patients in both groups were observed with respect to their general data, the therapeutic effects after the nursing, their clinical indicators (length of hospital stays, stable states of angina pectoris, attacks of angina pectoris), their treatment compliance after the nursing, their negative emotions before and after the nursing, their adverse reactions during the nursing, and the changes in their blood pressure (diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure) and QOL indices after the nursing.
RESULTS
There were no differences in the general data between the two groups (P>0.05), but the clinical indicators were better in the OG (P<0.05). After the nursing, the treatment compliance and improvement of the negative emotions were better in the OG (P<0.05), and the efficacy was also better in this group (P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions was lower in the OG (P<0.05), and the changes in the blood pressure indices were better in this group (P<0.05). After the nursing, the QOL in the OG was better (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
Predictive nursing is conducive to improving the efficacy, the treatment compliance, and the QOL of UAP patients.
