Abstract Objective: To explore the effect of comprehensive nursing on the anxiety-depressive emotion and quality of life in senile female coronary heart disease (CHD) patients after intracoronary stent implantation(CSI).Methods: A total of 104 senile female CHD patients with anxiety-depressive emotion after CSI were enrolled and randomly divided into two groups:The control group (n=52) received routine treatment and nursing, the observation group (n=52) received comprehensive nursing on this basis. Before and 6 months after nursing,the anxiety-depressive emotion were evaluated by Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS),the quality of life was evaluated by Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) and Short Form Health Survey (SF-36),the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) between the two groups were conducted and compared.Results: 6 months after nursing,the scores of SAS and SDS in both groups were significantly reduced,and these in observation group were significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05); The scores of SAQ and the SF-36 in all areas were significantly improved, and these in observation group were significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05); The MACE rate was 5.77% in observation group,significantly lower than 19.23% in the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion: Comprehensive nursing can relieve the anxiety and depression psychology of senile female CHD patients with CSI, improve quality of life and reduce the incidence of MACE.
