Effect of nursing intervention based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs in patients with coronary heart disease interventional surgery.

BACKGROUND

It is very important to provide effective nursing programs to regulate the physical and mental state of patients and to improve treatment compliance after interventional surgery for coronary heart disease (CHD).

AIM

To explore the effect of a nursing intervention based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory on patients with CHD undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.

METHODS

Ninety-four patients with CHD undergoing interventional surgery in our hospital from January 2020 to February 2021 were randomly divided into a research group ( = 47) and a control group ( = 47). The control group received routine nursing, and the research group received a nursing intervention based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory. The scores of self-efficacy, negative emotion [depression (SDS), anxiety (SAS)], intervention compliance (standardized medication, moderate exercise, healthy diet, and regular review), and nursing satisfaction were calculated before and after intervention for the two groups.

RESULTS

Before intervention, there was no significant difference in the scores of disease general management self-efficacy, disease management self-efficacy, and total self-efficacy between the two groups ( = 0.795, 0.479, and 0.659, respectively). After intervention, these three scores in the research group were higher than those in the control group ( < 0.001). Before intervention, there was no significant difference in the scores of SAS and SDS between the two groups ( = 0.149 and 0.347, respectively). After intervention, the scores of SAS and SDS in the research group were lower than those in the control group ( < 0.001). The standardized drug use rate (97.87%), moderate exercise rate (97.87%), healthy diet rate (95.74%), and regular reexamination rate (97.87%) in the research group were higher than those in the control group (85.11%, 82.98%, 80.85%, and 87.23%, respectively) ( = 0.027, 0.014, 0.025, and 0.049, respectively). Nursing job satisfaction in the research group (93.62%) was higher than that in the control group (78.72%) ( = 0.036).

CONCLUSION

A nursing program based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory can effectively alleviate negative emotion, enhance self-efficacy and intervention compliance, and ensure that the patients are highly satisfied with the nursing work.
