Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effectiveness of the family integrated care model in elderly patients with chronic heart failure.Methods:Elderly patients with chronic heart failure attending Zhumadian Central Hospital from January 2021 to July 2023 were selected for the study using convenience sampling method. A random number table method was used to randomly divide the study subjects into an observation group ( n=48) and a control group ( n=46). Patients in control group were treated with conventional care model, and patients in observation group received a 1-year family integrated care model. The 6-minute walk test distance, peripheral blood brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels, and Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) scores were compared between the two groups. Results:After the intervention, patients in observation group had a lower BNP than control group, a higher 6-minute walk test distance and a lower MLHFQ score than control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:Family integrated care model can improve the quality of life of elderly patients with chronic heart failure, increase patients' exercise endurance, and promote patients' cardiac function, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
