Effect of a mutual goal-based continuous care program on self-management behaviour and health outcomes in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention: A randomized controlled trial.

For the patients subjected to the developed continuous nursing program based on mutual goals, achievement rates of all dimension mutual goals were at high levels (from 80.21% to 98.41%), except for the weight control (60.94%). Moreover, according to the comparable base data, compared with the control group, the self-management behaviour (study group 93.43 vs. control group 76.00), quality of life (QoL), and patients' satisfaction (study group 4.64 vs. control group 4.11) were higher, while the unscheduled readmission rate (study group 4.76% vs. control group 22.22%) was lower, in the study group, with statistically significant differences.
