Effects of Personalized Nursing plus Dietary Nursing Management on LP-PLA2, Hcy Levels, and Quality of Life in Elderly Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome.

OBJECTIVE

To explore the effect of individual nursing combined with dietary management on blood glucose levels and quality of life in elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome with diabetes.

METHOD

This study included 68 elderly patients who underwent acute coronary syndrome at Department of Emergency in our hospital from January 2018 to January 2020. And they were assigned to a control group ( = 34) treated with individual nursing and a research group ( = 34) treated with individual nursing and dietary management according to the random number table. A comparison of the changes in blood glucose levels, anxiety and depression, quality of life, and nursing satisfaction was made between groups before and after nursing.

RESULT

Before nursing, the differences in blood glucose levels, SAS scores, and SDS scores between groups were not considered statistically significant ( > 0.05). After nursing, the blood glucose levels, SAS, and SDS levels of patients in both groups significantly decreased, and the research group presented a higher decrease when compared with the control group ( < 0.05). The short form health survey (SF-36) showed that the research group had higher scores in physical function (PF), general health (GH), vitality (VT), mental health (MH), social function (SF), role-physical (RP), bodily pain (BP), and role-emotional (RE) compared with the control group ( < 0.05). The satisfaction survey presented that the research group had a significantly higher total score than the control group [(91.40 ± 5.23) vs. (86.61 ± 7.14), < 0.05].

CONCLUSION

The combination of individual nursing and dietary management not only effectively reduces glycosylated hemoglobin levels and anxiety and depression but also wins better nursing satisfaction in the treatment of acute coronary syndrome in elderly patients. Moreover, their quality of life has been significantly improved after discharge.
