Abstract: Objective To investigate the clinical effect of individualized exercise rehabilitation nursing in patients undergoing pacemaker implantation. Methods A total of 43 patients who underwent pacemaker implantation in our hospital from January 2019 to January 2023 were enrolled and divided into groups A (20 patients receiving conventional rehabilitation nursing) and B (23 patients receiving individualized exercise rehabilitation nursing) using a random number table, and the two groups were compared in terms of cardiac function, treadmill exercise test results, motor function, self-care ability of daily living, exercise compliance, and adverse reactions. Results Compared with group A, group B had significantly higher levels of the cardiac function parameters heart rate, left ventricular ejection fraction, and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter. The treadmill exercise test showed that compared with group A, group B had significantly higher exercise level, exercise time, and maximum metabolic equivalent. Moreover, compared with group A, group B had significantly higher motor function score, score of self-care ability of daily living, and exercise compliance and a significantly lower incidence rate of adverse reactions (P<0.05). Conclusion For patients undergoing pacemaker implantation, individualized exercise rehabilitation nursing can promote exercise compliance, reduce adverse reactions, and improve their cardiac function, motor function, and self-care ability of daily living, and therefore, it holds promise for clinical application.
