Abstract

Objective: To observe the effect of implementing the continuity of care service model in the rehabilitation nursing of elderly patients with chronic diseases. Methods: A total of 60 elderly patients with chronic diseases admitted to our hospital from March 2024 to April 2025 were selected as the research subjects and randomly divided into two groups. One group (control group, 30 cases) received routine rehabilitation nursing during out-of-hospital treatment, and the other group (observation group, 30 cases) received the continuity of care service model. The quality of life and compliance of the two groups were observed. Results: The quality of life of the observation group after nursing was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). The compliance of the observation group was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Implementing the continuity of care service model in the rehabilitation nursing of elderly patients with chronic diseases can improve patients' compliance during out-of-hospital treatment and enhance their quality of life.
