Objective To explore the effect of extended nursing service in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation. Methods 100 elderly patients with atrial fibrillation in our hospital from January 2019 to January 2022 were divided into two groups by double-blind randomization. The control group received routine nursing, while the experimental group received routine nursing combined with extended nursing services. The quality of life scores after six months of discharge and the number of patients who were re-admitted to hospital for atrial fibrillation within six months were compared between the two groups. Results The quality of life scores of the two groups were compared at the time of discharge, the control group was 65.84±3.33 points, the experimental group was 65.64±3.34 points, P>0.05, after six months of discharge, both groups were significantly increased, and the experimental group was 90.21±3.56 points significantly It was higher than the control group by 80.12±3.33 points, P<0.05. The number of patients admitted to hospital for atrial fibrillation again within six months in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). In the experimental group, 1 patient was admitted to hospital again for atrial fibrillation within six months, accounting for 2.5%, while the number of patients in the control group who was admitted to hospital again for atrial fibrillation within half a year was 8, accounting for 16.0%. Conclusion The implementation of routine nursing combined with extended nursing service in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation is effective, which can effectively improve the patients condition and quality of life after discharge, and reduce the readmission rate.
