Objective To explore the profile characteristics of sedentary behavior in patients within six months after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)for coronary heart disease, clarify their intervention needs, and provide a basis for formulating targeted health management plans. Methods A questionnaire survey was adopted to collect information from 55 patients after PCI for coronary heart disease, including basic information, coronary heart disease-related conditions, sedentary behavior data, cognitive level of sedentary behavior, and exercise fear degree. Statistical methods were used to organize and analyze the data. Results Among the 55 patients, the middle-aged and elderly groups accounted for a high proportion; most were married, with both retired and employed patients. Nearly half of the patients had comorbidities such as hypertension and diabetes; the screen-based sedentary time was relatively long; some patients had insufficient awareness of the hazards of sedentary behavior, and a certain degree of exercise fear existed. Conclusion Sedentary behavior is common in patients after PCI for coronary heart disease, with significant differences in cognitive level and exercise willingness. It is necessary to formulate stratified intervention strategies based on individual characteristics.
