Abstract

Objective: This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of extended care in patients undergoing interventional treatment for lower limb atherosclerosis obliteration. 

Methods: Sixty-eight patients undergoing interventional treatment for lower limb atherosclerosis obliteration in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2020 were selected as study subjects and randomly divided into observation and control groups (34 cases in each group). The control group was given conventional nursing services, and the observation group was given extended care on the basis of conventional nursing services. Patients in both groups were followed up 1, 3, and 6 months after discharge from the hospital to compare recurrence (re-stenosis and obliteration), quality of life, compliance behavior, and satisfaction with care. 

Results: The recurrence rate of the observation group was lower than that of the control group at 3 and 6 months after discharge (P<0.05). The quality of life of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group at 1, 3, and 6 months after discharge (P<0.05). The complete compliance behavior of the observation group was significantly better than that of the control group at 3 and 6 months after discharge (P<0.05). The satisfaction of nursing care of the observation group was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). 

Conclusion: Extended care can lead to better outcomes, enhance compliance, reduce the incidence of re-occlusion and re-stenosis, and improve quality of life in patients undergoing interventional treatment for lower limb atherosclerosis.
