Abstract:
Objective To explore the intervention effect of evidence-based nursing on the health behavior of elderly hypertensive patients in the community.Methods 187 elderly hypertensive patients who were hospitalized in December 2015 and met the inclusive criteria were divided into observation group (n=93) and control group (n=94).The observation group received evidence-based nursing according to the evidence-based medical system evaluation while the control group was given regular nursing both for 6 months.The clinical efficacy of two nursing modes was observed and the differences between pre-intervention and pose-intervention and groups were recorded and analyzed with a self-designed questionnaire, drug compliance questionnaire and health behavior scale.Results In the observation group, the blood pressure was effectively controlled or reduced, treatment compliance was significantly increased and body mass index (BMI) was within the ideal range 6 months later.Scores of unhealthy behaviors such as those in living habits and mental stress were lower than those in the control group, which showed significant difference (P<0.05).There was no significant difference in activity participation between the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusion Evidence-based nursing intervention can effectively control the hypertension, improve the treatment compliance of the community elderly hypertension patients and help lead them to a more positive and healthier life style.
