ABSTRACT
AIMS: To evaluate the effects of mutual goal-based continuous care program on the outcomes of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
DESIGN: A single-blinded randomized controlled trial.
METHODS: 87 patients with CHD after PCI in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China, were randomly divided into study (n = 42) and control (n = 45) groups. The control group received 12-week cardiac rehabilitation and routine care. The study group received routine care and cardiac rehabilitation and the 12-week intervention program developed according to the goal attainment theory, including the mutual goal-based face-to-face guidance, and every-2-week telephone follow-ups. The self-management behaviour, quality of life, unscheduled readmission rate, and satisfaction of patients were examined.
RESULTS: For the patients subjected to the developed continuous nursing program based on mutual goals, achievement rates of all dimension mutual goals were at high levels (from 80.21% to 98.41%), except for the weight control (60.94%). Moreover, according to the comparable base data, compared with the control group, the self-management behaviour (study group 93.43 vs. control group 76.00), quality of life (QoL), and patients’ satisfaction (study group 4.64 vs. control group 4.11) were higher, while the unscheduled readmission rate (study group 4.76% vs. control group 22.22%) was lower, in the study group, with statistically significant differences.
