Abstract: Objective To study the effect of coronary heart disease management application (APP) on self-management ability of the elderly patients receiving percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI). Methods A total of 100 elderly patients undergoing PCI from December 2017 to September 2019 in our hospital were enrolled. According to random double-blind method, the patients were divided into test group (APP-based clinical guidance) and control group (routine guidance), with 50 cases in each group. After six months’ intervention, self-management in both groups were assessed by Wenjuanxing via wechat. Results Before intervention, the scores of self-management behaviors, Morisky medication adherence scale (MMAS-8) and the MOS 36-item short form health survey (SF-36) between the two groups were not significantly different (P>0.05); After intervention, related scores in the test group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence rate of major adverse cardiovascular events between the two groups(P>0.05). Conclusions APP-based clinical guidance can improve the self-management ability, medication compliance, quality of life of the patients receiving PCI.
