Effects of health concept model-based detailed behavioral care on mood and quality of life in elderly patients with chronic heart failure

Figure 1 Comparison of patients' cardiac function. A: After nursing, the left ventricular ejection fraction of patients in both groups were significantly improved, with a higher level in the study group as compared to the control group; B: Left ventricular end diastolic diameter was significantly reduced in both groups after nursing, and was statistically lower in the study group compared with the control group; C: After nursing, left ventricular end systolic diameter in the two groups dropped obviously and was lower in the study group compared with the control group. ^aP < 0.01; ^bP < 0.001. LVEF: Left ventricular ejection fraction; LVEDD: Left ventricular end diastolic diameter; LVESD: Left ventricular end systolic diameter.

Figure 2 Comparison of patients' negative emotions. A: After nursing, the self-rating anxiety scale score of both groups of patients dropped markedly and was lower in the study group compared with the control group; B: The self-rating depression scale score decreased statistically in both groups after nursing and was lower in the study group compared with the control group. ^aP < 0.01; ^bP < 0.001. SAS: Self-rating anxiety scale; SDS: Self-rating depression scale.

Figure 3 Improvement of nutritional status and quality of life of patients. A: The modified quantitative subjective global assessment score of the two groups dropped statistically after nursing, and was lower in the study group compared with the control group; B: After nursing, the Minnesota living with heart failure questionnaire score of the two groups dropped statistically and was lower in the study group compared with the control group. ^aP < 0.01; ^bP < 0.001. MQSGA: Modified quantitative subjective global assessment; MLHFQ: Minnesota living with heart failure questionnaire.
