Abstract: Objective: To investigate the effect of continuous nursing based on 'Internet plus' in patients with coronary artery disease after coronary stent implantation. Methods: Totally 104 patients with coronary artery disease after the first coronary stent implantation were included, and they were randomly divided into the intervention group (n=52) and the control group (n=52) by a random number table. The control group were treated with traditional nursing, and the intervention group were treated with continuous nursing combined with 'Internet plus' besides traditional nursing. The compliance of rehabilitation and medication, the knowledge of disease were observed after 1 month, 3 months and 6 months respectively. Results: The patients followed on time in the intervention group after 1 month, 3 months and 6 months were 42, 37, and 39, while the patients in the control group were 33, 26, and 24 (P<0.05). The score of medication compliance in the intervention group at dischage, after 1 month, 3 months and 6 months were 4.15±0.89, 6.12±0.84, 6.21±0.89, and 6.49±0.80, while the score of the control group were 4.19±0.87, 5.52±0.75, 5.73±0.77, and 5.77±0.73 (P<0.05). The score of disease knowledge in the intervention group on admission, after 1 month, 3 months and 6 months were 64.85±5.41, 70.91±7.53, 80.75±5.83, and 88.87±6.17, while the score in the control group were 64.37±6.22, 69.11±7.28, 70.39±5.50, and 71.41±5.70 (P<0.05). Conclusions: The continuous nursing based on 'Internet plus' is benefit for the rehabilitation of patients with coronary artery disease after coronary stent implantation.
