Abstract:

Objective

To explore the application effect of health management led by brain and heart health managers based on capability, opportunity, motivation behavior (COM-B) model in stroke patients.

Methods

A total of 113 stroke patients hospitalized in the Neurology Department of Qingdao Municipal Hospital from December 2023 to March 2024 were enrolled. Using time-segmented allocation, they were assigned to a control group (admitted from December 2023 to January 2024) and an intervention group (admitted from February 2024 to March 2024). The control group received routine nursing care, while the intervention group received an additional structured health management program led by brain-heart health managers based on COM-B model. Outcomes, including the Barthel Index (BI), modified Rankin Scale (mRS)​ score, stroke prevention knowledge, self-efficacy, and health behavior scores, were assessed at baseline and at 1, 3, and 6 months post-discharge. Repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) and independent t-tests were used to evaluate time effects, group effects, and interaction effects.

Results

In the intervention group, 4 cases were excluded, resulting in the final inclusion of 56 patients; in the control group, 3 cases were excluded, resulting in the final inclusion of 57 patients. Significant time, group, and interaction effects were observed for BI, mRS score, knowledge of stroke prevention and treatment, self-efficacy and stroke health behavior between the two groups (all P<0.05). Comparisons between the intervention and control groups revealed statistically significant differences across all outcome measures at 1, 3, and 6 months post-discharge. For the BI, significant between-group differences were observed at each time point (80.18±20.14 vs 71.23±20.47, t=2.343, P=0.021; 84.37±15.70 vs 77.11±17.32, t=2.337, P=0.021; 91.52±11.52 vs 82.46±14.49, t=3.676, P<0.001). Similarly, mRS scores differed significantly between groups at 1, 3, and 6 months (1.59±1.50 vs 2.16±1.12, t=2.291, P=0.024; 1.25±1.24 vs 1.79±1.10, t=2.450, P=0.016; 0.82±0.79 vs 1.49±1.02, t=3.901, P<0.001). Self-efficacy scores were also significantly higher in the intervention group across all follow-up points (46.16±11.70 vs 40.09±13.29, t=2.577, P=0.011; 50.41±9.39 vs 42.93±13.14, t=3.477, P=0.001; 53.02±8.26 vs 46.70±12.06, t=3.243, P=0.002). Moreover, prevention and treatment knowledge scores showed marked between-group differences at 1, 3, and 6 months (22.25±1.39 vs 16.18±1.55, t=21.922, P<0.001; 28.29±1.58 vs 22.60±1.55, t=19.347, P<0.001; 31.20±1.81 vs 27.09±2.52, t=9.925, P<0.001). Finally, healthy behavior scores were significantly different between groups at all three follow-up assessments (74.23±7.95 vs 70.28±8.61, t=2.534, P=0.013; 78.30±7.75 vs 73.14±7.86, t=3.516, P=0.001; 83.64±5.72 vs 77.89±7.04, t=4.758, P<0.001).

Conclusion

The health management based on COM-B model led by brain and heart health managers can improve the neurological function and activities of daily living of stroke patients, enhancec stroke prevention knowledge and self-efficacy, and promote the formation and maintenance of patients' healthy behaviors.
