Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical nursing intervention effect of moxibustion on abdominal distension symptoms in heart failure (heart and kidney yang deficiency and blood stasis blocking collaterals syndrome). Methods: 62 patients with heart failure (heart and kidney yang deficiency and blood stasis blocking collaterals syndrome) admitted to our hospital from February 2023 to February 2024 were selected and divided into the observation group (n = 31) and the control group (n = 31) by using the random numerical table method. The control group adopted conventional nursing interventions, and the observation group received the nursing program of the control group with the addition of moxibustion nursing interventions. The nursing effectiveness, quality of life scores, and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results: The nursing effectiveness of the observation group was significantly higher than the control group (P < 0.05); the quality of life score of the observation group was significantly higher than the control group (P < 0.05); the nursing satisfaction of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The use of moxibustion nursing intervention in patients with heart failure (heart and kidney yang deficiency and blood stasis blocking collaterals syndrome) can effectively relieve the symptoms of abdominal distension, improve patients’ quality of life, and increase nursing satisfaction, which has promotion and application values.
