Chronic heart failure (CHF), a clinical condition that affects a large proportion of the elderly population, is characterized by a long course of disease, many complications, and decreased self-care ability, often bringing a huge economic burden to the families of patients and society.
To help people understand CHF in the elderly and provide reference for the clinical optimization of this disease.
To evaluate the application value of health concept model-based detailed behavioral care in elderly patients with CHF.
Sixty-two cases of CHF who underwent health concept model-based detailed behavioral care were included in a study group, and patients’ rehabilitation efficiency, negative emotions (NEs), cardiac function (CF) parameters, nutritional status, quality of life (QoL), and nursing satisfaction were recorded. In addition, 54 cases who underwent routine detailed behavioral care were included in a control group (CG) for analysis.
The rehabilitation efficiency and CF parameters of the study group were significantly improved after intervention. In addition, more significant alleviation in NEs and improvement in QoL were recorded in the study group as compared to the CG. A higher degree of overall nursing satisfaction was also noted in the research group.
Health concept model-based detailed behavioral care has high application value in elderly patients with CHF, which can improve patients’ rehabilitation efficiency, significantly relieve NEs, and enhance their CF and QoL.
This study discusses the application value of health concept model-based detailed behavioral care in the nursing of elderly CHF patients, and focuses on patients’ NEs and QoL, hoping to provide some references for improving the clinical care of such patients.
