Objective:To explore the effects of hospital-community-family continuous nursing mode in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) .Methods:Totally 140 CHF patients admitted to Hefei First People's Hospital from November 2020 to October 2021 were selected by convenience sampling and divided into the control group and the observation group according to the random number table, with 70 cases in each group. Patients in the control group was given routine cardiovascular care, while patients in the observation group received hospital-community-family continuous care on this basis. The scores of Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ), Self-Care of Heart Failure Index (SCHFI) and Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile-Ⅱ (HPLP-Ⅱ) were compared between the two groups of patients at admission and 3 months after discharge.Result:At admission, there was no significant difference in the scores of MLHFQ, SCHFI and HPLP-Ⅱ between the two groups ( P>0.05) ; 3 months after discharge, the score of MLHFQ in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, and the scores of SCHFI and HPLP-Ⅱ were higher than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:The hospital-community-family continuous nursing model can improve the self-care ability, health behavior and quality of life of CHF patients, which is worth promoting in clinical practice.
