Objective To explore appropriate health education method for patients receive coronary intervention operation to alleviate patients' anxiety and provide some scientific evidence for clinical to launch high quality nursing education.Methods According to the different days,totals of 420 patients with first coronary intervention operation were selected and randomly divided into control group (210 cases )and experimental group (210 cases).Control group received individual pattern health education,while experimental group received group patten health education.All patients were investigated with self-anxiety scale(SAS) before and after health education,then the incidence of anxiety and SAS score between two groups were compared.Results Before health education,64.8％ patients of control group and 65.7％ patients of experimental group existed anxiety,and the difference was statistically significant (x2=0.04,P ＞0.05 ).After education,the anxiety incidence of two groups lower than before education,experimental group ( 17.1％ ) was lower than control group( 27.6％ ),and the difference was statistically significant( x2=6.63,P ＜0.05 ).Before education,the SAS score of control group was ( 53.85 ± 3.78 ) and experimental group was ( 53.57 ± 4.89 ),and the difference was no statistically significant ( P ＞ 0.05 ).After education,the SAS score of control group and experimental group was (45.65 ±0.94),(42.18 ± 1.29),respectively,lower than before education,and the difference was statistically significant ( t=6.24,7.76,respectively; P ＜ 0.05 ).Also,the SAS score of experimental group lower than that of control group the difference was statistically significant ( t=7.39,P ＜0.05 ).Conclusions Health education for patients with coronary intervention can alleviate their pre-operation anxiety,and group patten health education is better than individual pattern health education in reducing anxiety patients number and alleviate patients' anxiety.
