The effects of high-quality nursing accompaniment on the sleep quality, negative psychological moods and quality of life of patients with acute myocardial infarct.

OBJECTIVES

High-quality nursing accompaniment serves as a paragon of patient-centered care, distinguished by the provision of exceptional nursing services that integrate thorough physical care with robust psychological support. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of high-quality nursing accompaniment intervention on sleep quality, negative psychological moods, and quality of life in patients with acute myocardial infarct (AMI).

METHODS

This study recruited patients with AMI from January 2023 to December 2024. Patients were divided into two cohorts: an observation group and a control group. The control group received standard conventional nursing care, while the observation group underwent high-quality nursing accompaniment interventions. The two groups were compared with respect to sleep quality, psychological status and quality of life, as well as complications, before and after intervention. The two groups were compared with respect to sleep quality [Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)], psychological status [self-rating anxiety scale [SAS] and self-rating depression scale [SDS] scores], and quality of life [generic quality of life inventory-74 (GQOLI-74) scores], as well as satisfaction and complications, before and after intervention.

RESULTS

The results indicated that the observation group exhibited superior outcomes compared to the control group following the intervention, as evidenced by reduced PSQI scores. Post-intervention, both groups experienced a decline in the scores for the SAS and the SDS, with a notably greater reduction observed in the observation group ( < 0.05). Furthermore, after the intervention, improvements were noted in all dimensions of the GQOLI-74 for both groups, yet the observation group demonstrated a more pronounced enhancement ( < 0.05). Additionally, the observation group reported a lower incidence of complications and higher levels of nursing satisfaction.

CONCLUSIONS

High-quality nursing accompaniment can effectively improve the sleep quality, alleviate adverse psychological conditions, elevate overall quality of life. This approach is associated with a minimal rate of complications and a high level of nursing satisfaction.
