Title: Applicat ion of Clinical Nur sing Pat hway in Int er vent ional Ther apy for Coronary Hear t Disease ABSTRACT Objectives: Objective To discuss the application of clinical nursing pathway(CNP)in interventional therapy for the patients with coronary heart disease and its nursing efficacy. Methods: We divided 150 patients with coronary heart disease who underwent interventional therapy randomly into observation group and control group,each consisting of 75 cases. The observation group received CNP,while the control group received routine nursing care in conventional nursing mode. Results: The incidence rate of arrhythmia was markedly lower in the observation group than that in the control group,the hospital stay and cost were much less,and the satisfaction degree of the patient and the scores of the nursing quality of the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group,with a significant difference between two groups,all P <0.01. Conclusion: CNP can reduce the complication incidence,decrease the economical burden,enhance the patient satisfaction and increase the comprehensive nursing quality in interventional therapy for the patients with coronary heart disease.
