Objective To explore the influence of Explain-Simulate-Practice-Communication-Support (ESPCS) nursing on self-management and quality of life in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients. Methods We chosen 200 CHD patients from January to December in 2013 and divided them into observation group and control group according to random number table method, 100 cases in each group. The patients of the control group received routine nursing, while the patients of the observation group underwent EPSCS nursing intervention on the basis of conventional nursing. After the intervention, the self management behavior and quality of life were surveyed. Results After the intervention, the patients of the observation group acquired the scores of (43.5±6.1), (51.2±3.5), (21.1±3.2) for daily life management, disease medical management, and emotion management respectively, while the scores of the control group were (39.6±5.8), (45.6±3.9), and (18.2±2.9), the differences were statistically significant (t=-3.462, -6.247, -2.958, respectively; P 0.05), but scores of the rest other six dimensional in the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions ESPCS nursing intervention can improve the ability of CHD patients on self-management and rehabilitation training persistence, and improve the quality of life.
