Effect of continuous nursing on angina attack and quality of life in patients with coronary artery disease: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis

BACKGROUND: Coronary Artery Disease is an ischemic or necrotic heart disease caused by myocardial hypoxia caused by coronary artery stenosis or occlusion. The main symptoms are heart failure and recurrent angina pectoris. Continuous nursing refers to the nursing mode from in-hospital nursing to out-of-hospital nursing, including guiding patients’ follow-up treatment and lifestyle, which can effectively improve the quality of life in patients with Coronary Artery Disease and reduce the number of angina attacks. The study implemented in this program will systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of continuous nursing intervention on an angina attack and quality of life in Coronary Artery Disease, and provide evidence-based basis for clinical application of continuous nursing intervention in Coronary Artery Disease. METHOD: The 2 researchers search the databases of China Knowledge Network, VP Information Chinese Journal Service Platform, PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and Web of Science. From the establishment of the database in December 2020, all the randomized controlled trials on continuous nursing intervention for Coronary Artery Disease are collected. The relevant data are extracted and the quality is evaluated. meta-analysis is performed on the included literature using Stata15.0 software. RESULT: In this study, the efficacy and safety of continuous nursing intervention on Coronary Artery Disease are evaluated by Seattle angina questionnaire and other indicators. CONCLUSION: This study will provide reliable evidence for the clinical application of nursing intervention in Coronary Artery Disease. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Private information from individuals will not be published. This systematic review also does not involve endangering participant rights. Ethical approval will not be required. The results may be published in a peer-reviewed journal or disseminated at relevant conferences. OSF REGISTRATION NUMBER: DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/7QRKV.
