Abstract:

Objective

To explore the preventive effect of four-step rehabilitation program combined with motivational interview on acute attack after discharge in elderly patients with heart failure.

Methods

A prospective study was conducted on 126 elderly patients with HF admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Shihezi University from March 2023 to July 2024. They were divided into the control group and the study group according to the random number table method, with 63 cases in each group. The control group received routine rehabilitation guidance on the basis of routine management, and the study group received four-step rehabilitation program combined with motivational interview on the basis of routine management. Cardiac function [(Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), cardiac output (CO), stroke volume (SV), 6-min walking distance (6MWD)], Chinese version of Heart Failure Self-care Scale, compliance score, Minnesota Heart Failure Quality of Life Questionnaire (MLHFQ) were compared between the two groups before intervention, at discharge and 3 months after discharge, and the acute attacks within 6 months after discharge were compared between the two groups.

Results

Before intervention, there were no differences in cardiac function, Chinese version of Heart Failure Self-care Scale, compliance score and MLHFQ score between the two groups (P>0.05). At discharge and 3 months after discharge, the LVEF, CO, SV, 6MWD, SCHFI score and compliance score of the study group were higher or greater than those of the control group, and the MLHFQ score was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). At the last follow-up, the acute attack rate of the study group was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05).

Conclusion

Four-step rehabilitation program combined with motivational interview can significantly improve the cardiac function of elderly HF patients and reduce the number of acute attacks after discharge.
