Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of Tian dan shu gan rehabilitation exercise in improving the short-term survival quality of patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and explore whether patients’ symptoms, physical function, cognitive function, and psychosocial function are improved after this exercise.
Methods: Patients with acute myocardial infarction who underwent PCI in Yueyang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from August to November 2020 were selected. A total of 110 patients were selected by the convenience sampling method. Patients in the control group were given routine nursing measures after PCI for coronary heart disease, and patients in the experimental group received Tian dan shu gan rehabilitation exercise in addition to routine nursing.
Results: After 3 wk, the quality of life in the experimental group was improved compared with that in the control group, and the differences in symptom scores, physical functions, cognitive functions, and psychosocial functions were statistically significant (P < 0.01). After 3 wk of Tian dan shu gan rehabilitation exercise, patients with body mass index (BMI) between 27 and 29.9 had the highest score of body function, which was statistically significantly better compared with that of other groups (P < 0.001). Patients who had remained bachelors for a long period of time had the highest score of symptoms, which was statistically significant compared with the other groups (P < 0.001). The nursing satisfaction of the experimental group was 96.3%.
Conclusions: Tian dan shu gan rehabilitation exercise was effective in improving the short-term quality of life of patients with acute myocardial infarction after PCI, and the nursing satisfaction rate was high, use of which should be further extended to more clinical patients.
