Objective To explore the effects of home visit nursing based on interaction model of client health behavior on limb balance function，post ⁃ stroke depression and patient satisfaction in community stroke patients. Methods Respectively，thirty⁃one patients from two community health service centers in Yinchuan City were selected by convenient sampling and assigned into control group and intervention group by lottery. The 31 patients in the control group received routine home visit nursing，and those in the intervention group received home visit nursing based on the interaction model of client health behavior.The simplified Fugl ⁃Meyer scale，Hamilton Depression Scale and Customer Satisfaction Scale were used to evaluate the effect of the intervention at three time points of before the intervention，3 and 6 months after the intervention. Results The simplified Fugl⁃Meyer score of the intervention group was significantly higher than that of the control group at each time point after the interven⁃ tion（P < 0.05）. The ANOVA of repeated measuring showed that the simplified Fugl⁃Meyer score of the two groups was statistically significant across the different time points，between the different groups and on time⁃group interac⁃ tion effects（P < 0.05）. After 6⁃month intervention，the HAMD score of the intervention group was significantly lower than that of the control group，and the patient satisfaction score was significantly higher than that of the con⁃ trol group（P < 0.05）. Conclusion Home visit nursing based on the interaction model of client health behavior can effectively reduce the degree of post ⁃stroke depression in community stroke patients，improve their limb bal⁃ ance function，and enhance patient satisfaction.
