Health-promoting Lifestyle in Patients after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Abstract

Background and ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to determine the status of health-promoting behaviors in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and explore what factors affect healthy lifestyle behaviors.MethodsA total of 120 patients with coronary artery disease after PCI was included in this study. The Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP) II was used to assess health-promoting lifestyle behavior. Data analysis was performed by t-test, analysis of variance, and multiple linear stepwise regression analyses.ResultsThe average age of the participants was 60.10±9.84 (range, 37–81) years old. Among the participants, 86.7% were men and 13.3% were women. In all, 24.2% of the patients had an excellent level of health-promoting lifestyle and 74.2% had a moderate level of health-promoting lifestyle. The spiritual growth scores were the highest, while stress management and physical activity scores were the lowest. The level of health-promoting lifestyle was higher for people with higher income and a diagnosis of stable angina.ConclusionsHealthcare providers should focus on promoting physical exercise and stress management for patients after PCI. It is also necessary to keep an eye out for patients with low income and severe illness to encourage a health-promoting lifestyle in these subsets of patients.

Effect of a nurse-led individualized self-management program for Chinese patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention

“…3 Therefore, recommended therapies for AMI patients undergoing PCI should be coupled with medication intervention and changes in health behavior to control cardiac risk factors. 4 Transitioning from the hospital to home is particularly challenging for AMI patients undergoing PCI. After a short stay in hospitals, patients must take multiple medications daily, 2 and adjust their lifestyle at home.…”

“…The HPLPII is a wellknown and extensively used research scale that helps determine the health behaviors of the participants. 4 It is a 40-item Likert scale ranging from 1 = never to 4 = routinely that measures the health-promoting lifestyle in six behaviors dimensions: health responsibility, nutrition, physical activity, stress management, interpersonal relations, and spiritual growth. The Chinese version of the HPLPII has good internal consistency with a Cronbach's α of 0•90.…”

“…Lifestyle tests to assess factors such as education, occupation, and engagement in cognitive activities are also illustrated to have clinical applications, such as evaluating the treatment of Huntington disease (Garcia-Gorro et al, 2019). Another example is using the health-promoting lifestyle profile questionnaire for examining the condi-tions of patients with heart disease (Dehkordi, 2018), hypertension (Li, Yu, Chen, Quan, & Zhou, 2018), or after a coronary intervention (Xiao, Wang, Fang, & Zhao, 2018).…”

“…A higher score demonstrates the uptake of more adaptive health behaviour. HPLP II has been translated and improved for assessing people's pre‐stroke health behaviour in China, the content validity index was 0.85 and the Cronbach's α was 0.93 (Wan et al., 2014; Xiao, Wang, Fang, & Zhao, 2018).…”
