Abstract Objective: To analyze the application value of compliance behavior boosting strategy of anticoagulation therapy in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Method: A total of 100 elderly AF patients who were hospitalized in the Department of Cardiology from January 2021 to May 2022 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University were selected as the research objects. They were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group, with 50 patients in each group. The control group received routine anticoagulation care. On the basis of the control group, the observation group adopted the strategy of improving the compliance behavior of elderly AF patients with anticoagulation treatment based on the booster theory. Before intervention, before discharge and one month after discharge, the anticoagulation compliance [Morisliy medication compliance scale (MMAS-8)], self-management ability and quality of life [atrial fibrillation effect on quality-of-life (AF-QoL-18)] of the two groups were evaluated and compared. Result: Before discharge and one month after discharge, the MMAS-8 scores, self-management ability and AF-QoL-18 scores of the two groups were improved compared with those before intervention, and the observation group were higher than those of the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: The strategy of improving anticoagulation therapy compliance behavior based on the booster theory can improve the anticoagulation therapy compliance and self-management ability of elderly AF patients, and improve their quality of life.
