Objective:To analyze the effects of providing extended rehabilitation nursing services at home to patients with coronary heart disease(CHD)combined with heart failure(CHF)on psychological improvement and adherence to medical compliance behavior.Methods:79 patients with CHD with CHF admitted to Sijia Town Central Health Hospital,Haimen District,Nantong City,Jiangsu Province,between June 2021 and June 2023 were selected and grouped according to the randomized numerical table method.The control group(39 cases)was provided with conventional nursing care and extended rehabilitation nursing care at home was provided to the observation group(40 cases).The psychological status,adherence to medical behaviors,cardiac function,and complications between both groups were compared.Results:The scores of anxieties and depression self-assessment scales(SAS,SDS)of patients in the observation group were lower than those of the control group(t=2.954,3.212;P<0.05);the compliance of patients in the observation group was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).The levels of left ventricular ejection fraction,end-systolic and end-diastolic internal diameters(LVEF,LVESD,LVEDD)of patients in the observation group at 58.02±5.34%,44.49±5.16 mm,and 49.16±5.76 mm respectively were better than those of the control group after nursing care(t=3.205,3.288,2.633;P<0.05);the complication rate of the observation group was lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Extended rehabilitation nursing at home exhibited a psychological regulation effect on CHD with CHF patients,improved their medical compliance,improved cardiac function,reduced the incidence of complications,and had significant application value.

Analysis of the Effect of Family-Centered Empowerment Model(FCEM)Health Education Through WeChat on Medication Compliance and Blood Pressure of Elderly Hypertensive Patients in Rural Areas

Objective: To validate the effectiveness of a Family-Centered Empowerment Model (FCEM) health education through WeChat on medication compliance and blood pressure among elderly hypertensive patients in rural areas. Methods: One hundred and two rural elderly hypertensive patients aged 65-80 years were selected and randomly divided into an experimental and control group of 51 each. The control group implemented conventional health education, and the experimental group implemented FCEM health education through WeChat platform for 4 consecutive weeks. The Therapeutic Adherence Scale for Hypertensive Patients (TASHP) scores and blood pressure measurements were compared between and within the two groups. Results: After the intervention, there were significant differences in medication compliance and blood pressure between the two groups (P < 0.001). In the control group, before and after the intervention, there was a significant difference in medication compliance (P < 0.001), but no significant difference in blood pressure (P > 0.05). In the experimental group, there were significant differences in medication compliance and blood pressure before and after the intervention (P < 0.001). Conclusion: The FCEM health education through an online social platform significantly improved medication compliance and led to effective blood pressure control in rural elderly hypertensive patients. Therefore, as an effective, safe, and economical model, it is also necessary to explore its effectiveness in improving health problems in other chronic diseases and other age groups.

Compliance to Medication Management and Mental Health Status of Elderly Hypertensive Patients: Basis of Educational Health Program

Objective:The study aimed to assess medication management compliance and mental health in elderly patients with hypertension.Method:The study evaluated medication compliance and mental health status of elderly hypertensive patients in China using simple random sampling.Data was collected using the Morisky Medication Compliance Questionnaire,Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale,and a checklist.Ethical practices were strictly observed.Results:A study of 100 elderly hypertensive patients found poor drug management compliance,with female patients showing worse compliance.Female patients were more vulnerable to anxiety and depression.The study also found no significant association between gender,age,education level,marital status,living standards,and medication compliance.Barriers to medication management included food and daily necessities,lack of awareness about the importance of drug treatment,and basic family needs.The lowest-ranked barriers were lack of support from government health clinics,low income,and lack of family support.Conclusion:Based on the results,the study proposes an educational plan for elderly hypertensive patients and their families,to be evaluated and implemented by the hospital and township community service center.The plan aims to improve medication management and lifestyle modification compliance,encourage active participation,and provide access to medical and mental health clinics,support groups,and counseling services.

Preoperative Medication Management, Compliance and Adverse Events in Adult Patients Undergoing Elective Surgery: A Historical Chart Review

Purpose: Medication compliance for chronic medications has been well studied, but there is a gap in the literature regarding compliance within the perioperative period. Our objective was to determine the incidence of patient non-compliance with preoperative medication instructions for adult non-emergent surgery. Additional objectives were to identify predictors of compliance, describe medication instructions by drug type, and explore the impact of non-compliance. Patients and Methods: This historical chart review evaluated preoperative compliance to medication instructions in 393 adults undergoing non-emergent surgeries at Hamilton Health Sciences between May 1, 2012, and April 30, 2013. Seven patient factors (age;sex;American Society of Anesthesiologists class;number of medications;type of surgery;time between preoperative appointment to surgery;the individual collecting the medication list) were evaluated as potential predictors of non-compliance and analyzed using logistic regression analysis. Consequences of non-compliance were assessed by impact on intraoperative blood pressure, blood glucose level, drop in hemoglobin, bronchospasm, and case delays. Results: One hundred forty-six (37.2%) patients were non-compliant with one or more medication reconciliation instructions provided by the anesthesiologist. No significant associations were observed for any patient risk factors and non-compliance. Non-compliance was not associated with any clinically significant consequences. Conclusions: Our study shows that 37.15% of adult patients undergoing non-emergent surgery were non-compliant with medication instructions, although patients did not receive any written instructions for 46% of their medications. We did not identify any predictive patient factors or adverse outcomes associated with non-compliance.

A study of the impact of pharmaceutical care on medication compliance in asthmatic children

The objective of the study is to study the impact of pharmaceutical care on medication compliance in asthmatic children. The results will be used to further develop the pharmaceutical care delivered by pharmacists for asthmatic children, and to promote children＇s asthma control in China. The study was conducted in outpatient department of Beijing Children＇s Hospital from Mar. to Sept., 2009.
