Objective To explore the impact of integrated health education based on WeChat "hospital-family" on exercise-minded patients with chronic heart failure. Methods One hundred and forty exercise-minded patients with CHF hospitalized in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine from December 2019 to May 2020 were randomly divided into a control group (n=64) and an intervention group (n=65) according to the random number table method. The control group used the traditional preaching model, and the intervention group implemented the integrated hospital-family health education model based on WeChat. After 3 months of intervention, the self-efficacy, self-management ability, quality of life and exercise tolerance of the two groups were compared. Results Exercise-minded Patients in the intervention group had significantly higher dry strength, quality of life and exercise tolerance (P< 0.05). Conclusion WeChat-based integrated hospital-family health education can improve self-efficacy and self-management ability of CHF exercise-minded patients, thus improving quality of life cardiac function.
