Abstract

Objective: To analyze the impact of community nursing on the health behavior and quality of life of elderly patients with chronic diseases. Methods: 82 elderly patients with chronic diseases were selected for data analysis in our hospital from April 2024 to March 2025. They were divided into groups by lottery, with 41 patients in each group. The research group applied community nursing, and the control group applied routine nursing. The data between the groups were compared. Results: Compared with the control group, the health behavior scores and quality of life scores of the study group were significantly higher after the intervention, p < 0.05; compared with the health behavior scores and quality of life scores of the two groups before the intervention, p > 0.05. Conclusion: The application of community nursing to elderly patients with chronic diseases has a positive impact on patients’ health behavior and quality of life, can be significantly improved, and is worthy of clinical use and promotion.
