Abstract
ObjectiveTo explore the effects of behavior intervention on patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease recurrence, carotid artery stenosis recurrence, and quality of life after carotid artery stenting implantation.
MethodsSixty patients with carotid stenosis who underwent stenting surgery between January 2017 and July 2018 in Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University were recruited.The subjects were randomly divided into behavioral intervention group and control group.The control group was routinely followed up after carotid artery stenting implantation.The behavioral intervention group added home visit, education, guidance of the control and detection of risk factors for cerebrovascular disease of stent implantation.
ResultsAfter 12 months of intervention, the incidence of ischemic cerebrovascular disease and the recurrence rate of carotid restenosis in the behavioral intervention group(6.7%, 3.3%) were significantly lower than those in the control group(30.0%, 20.0%) (both P<0.05). Six months after the intervention and 12 months after the intervention, the self-management ability score (intervention group: six months after the intervention (171.20±18.43), 12 months after the intervention (179.90±14.34); control group: six months after the intervention (160.77±13.43); 12 months after the intervention (164.27±14.85)) and quality of SS-QOL score (intervention group: 6 months after intervention (188.47±16.25), 12 months after intervention (203.17±13.84); control group: 6 months after intervention (170.67±15.82); 12 months after intervention (183.80±18.19)of the intervention group were higher than that of the control group, the difference is statistically significant (all P<0.05).
ConclusionBehavioral intervention after carotid artery stenting implantation can effectively reduce the incidence of stroke and the recurrence rate of carotid stenosis and improve the prognosis of patients.The mechanism may be related with that the behavioral intervention can improve the self-management ability and the quality of life of patients with carotid stenosis.
