“…As hospitals become increasingly busier, RT techniques advance, and we move towards personalised information for RT patients, there is an increased demand for specialist roles in supportive care before, during, and after RT [28] , [77] . Studies have highlighted that prostate cancer patients have shown a high level of satisfaction with face-to-face and online interactions with specialist HCPs [5] , [46] . Similarly, breast cancer patients indicated that intervention from a nurse specialist significantly reduced anxiety and depression when compared to patients who received written information alone [76] .…”

“…Empowerment-based interventions have become a major model of health education for individuals with chronic diseases ( 14 , 15 ) and could substantially optimize patients’ empowerment levels and decrease psychological distress. However, empirical evidence is largely derived from studies in which a mixed population was recruited and patients who underwent CASI were not included.…”

BackgroundCoronary heart disease has a high incidence rate, a high mortality rate, a high recurrence rate, and a high medical cost. In addition, some patients need to undergo percutaneous coronary artery stent implantation (CASI), which is a kind of traumatic treatment. Patients can easily experience negative emotions such as anxiety and depression after surgery, which seriously affects quality of life.ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an empowerment-based telephone follow-up intervention on resilience and quality of life in patients who underwent CASI.DesignThe design of the study is a randomized controlled trial.MethodsA total of 92 patients were recruited after CASI from the Internal Medicine Cardiovascular Department of a Grade A tertiary hospital in Xi’an, China. The patients were randomly divided into a control group and an intervention group. The control group performed routine care, whereas the intervention group developed a telephone follow-up program based on empowerment theory while carrying out routine care. Patients were investigated using the coronary heart disease-related knowledge questionnaire, the Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), and the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) to compare the effects of the intervention before and after 1 month of intervention.ResultsAfter a 1-month telephone follow-up intervention based on the empowerment theory for patients after CASI, the variations in knowledge related to coronary heart disease and all of its subscale scores were greater in the intervention group than in the control group. Except for the three dimensions of risk factor, induction factor, and rehabilitation-related knowledge, the variations in knowledge related to coronary heart disease and the other subscale scores were significantly different between the two groups (p < 0.05). The variations in resilience and scores on the three subscales in the intervention group were greater than those in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (p < 0.05). The variations in the quality of life and overall health, emotional functions, and social functions were significantly greater in the intervention group than in the control group (p < 0.05).ConclusionsA telephone follow-up intervention based on the empowerment theory can effectively improve the resilience and quality of life of patients after CASI. This follow-up approach can provide a theoretical basis and practical reference for hospitals and communities to carry out targeted continuing nursing for patients after CASI. The long-term effects of the intervention and its underlying mechanisms require further study.Clinical trial registrationhttp://www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.aspx?proj=173682, identifier ChiCTR2200064950.
