Impacts of the Health Empowerment Model Combined with Binary Coping Intervention onNeurological Function,Coping Style,and Hope Level in Elderly Stroke Patients

Abstract

Objective To explore the impacts of health empowerment model combined with binary coping intervention on neurological function,coping style,and hope level in elderly stroke patients. Methods A total of 144 elderly stroke patients admitted to Handan Central Hospital from October 2020 to October 2022 were selected as the research subjects,they were randomly separated into a reference group and an observation group,with 72 cases in each group.The reference group received routine nursing intervention,while observation group received health empowerment combined with binary coping intervention,The neurological function [National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)] ,coping style [Simplified coping style questionnaire(SCSQ)] ,and hope level [Herth hope index(HHI)] of both groups were evaluated before and after intervention. Results There was no statistically significant difference in NIHSS scores,SCSQ scores,and HHI scores between the two groups before intervention(P>0.05).After intervention,the NIHSS scores of the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05),the positive coping style scores of SCSQ were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05),the negative coping style scores of SCSQ were lower than thos in the control group(P<0.05),and the scores of all dimensions in HHI were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion The combination of health empowerment model and binary coping intervention can obviously improve the neurological function of elderly stroke patients,enhance positive coping styles,and effectively enhance their hope level.
