Objective To explore the impact of continuity of care on self-management ability and prognosis in patients with hypertension complicated with arrhythmia. Methods From January 2024 to January 2025, 100 patients with hypertension and arrhythmia in our hospital were selected to participate in this study. The patients were randomly divided into a study group and a reference group using a computer blind selection method, and continued care was given to the study group while routine care was given to the reference group. The nursing effect was observed, and the research data of each group was summarized. The self-management ability score, blood pressure indicators, frequency of arrhythmia attacks, and quality of life score of the two groups were compared. The data was analyzed using the SPSS 30.0 system to compare the differences between groups and reflect the nursing effect. The results showed that the self-management ability score of the research group was higher than that of the reference group (P<0.05); There was no significant difference in blood pressure indicators between the two groups before nursing (P>0.05), while the study group had a lower blood pressure index compared to the reference group after nursing (P<0.05); The number of arrhythmia attacks in the study group was lower than that in the reference group (P<0.05); The quality of life score of the research group was higher than that of the reference group (P<0.05). Conclusion The application of continuity of care can effectively improve the self-management ability of patients with hypertension and arrhythmia, better control blood pressure, reduce the frequency of arrhythmia attacks, improve prognosis, enhance quality of life, and has ideal application effects and clinical promotion value.
