Abstract

Objective To explore and analyze the clinical application of combination of empowerment theory-based intervention model and Baduanjin exercise in patients with chronic pulmonary heart disease (CPHD), and to analyze the influence on health belief and rehabilitation of patients. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 310 patients with CPHD admitted to the hospital from January 2021 to January 2025. They were grouped according to different intervention methods (propensity score matching method was used to include samples at a 1∶1 ratio, and regression analysis was used to control confounding factors). The conventional group was only given clinical routine intervention. The study group adopted the intervention model based on the empowerment theory combined with Baduanjin training. The two groups were observed after intervention in terms of psychological state, health beliefs, compliance with exercise rehabilitation and rehabilitation conditions. Results After intervention, the depression score and anxiety score of hospital anxiety and depression scale were decreased in both groups, and the scores in the study group were lower (P < 0.05). The scores of dimensions of Champion health belief scale were increased in both groups, and the above scores were higher in the study group (P < 0.05). The scores of dimensions of behavior, psychology and environment of exercise rehabilitation compliance scale were enhanced in the two groups, and the scores in the study group were higher compared to the conventional group (P < 0.05). The forced expiratory volume in 1 second in the study group and right ventricular ejection fraction and 6min walking distance in the two groups were elevated, and the above indexes were higher in the study group compared to the conventional group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Empowerment theory-based intervention model combined with Baduanjin exercise for CPHD patients can alleviate anxiety and depression, increase rehabilitation belief and rehabilitation exercise compliance, and thus contribute to the rehabilitation of cardiopulmonary function to a certain extent.
