Objective: To explore the relationship between self-efficacy for rehabilitation and kinesiophobia in elderly patients undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) for coronary heart disease. Methods: A convenient sampling method was used to select 254 elderly patients with coronary heart disease PCI from our hospital’s cardiology department as research subjects. A general data questionnaire, Cardiac Exercise Phobia Scale, and Coronary Disease Self-Efficacy Scale were used to assess the level of kinesiophobia and self-efficacy. The Spearman correlation test was used to evaluate the correlation between the level of exercise phobia and self-efficacy for rehabilitation. Results: The score of the Cardiac Exercise Phobia Scale for elderly coronary heart disease PCI patients was (38.19±8.07), and the score of the Coronary Disease Self-Efficacy Scale was (35.94±7.75). According to the scores of the Cardiac Exercise Phobia Scale, patients were divided into a high-score group and a low-score group. The high-score group scored (30.69±3.25) on the Coronary Disease Self-Efficacy Scale, while the low-score group scored (38.04±5.67). Using the Spearman correlation test, the results showed a negative correlation between the level of exercise phobia and self-efficacy (P<0.05). Conclusion: The lower the level of self-efficacy in elderly patients with coronary heart disease PCI, the higher the level of kinesiophobia. This suggests that nursing staff should guide elderly coronary heart disease PCI patients to adopt healthy behaviors, improve their self-efficacy, reduce the occurrence of kinesiophobia, and promote patient rehabilitation.
