Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of nursing intervention on alleviating patients'psychiatric symptoms after liver transplantation. Methods Patients who suffered from liver transplantation divided into experimental group (n = 50) and control group (n = 162 ) were studied by retrospective contrast analysis. The control group was given the normal nursing, while the experimental group, besides the normal nursing, was administered with psychological intervention and music intervention. Results There was no significant difference between both groups on the anxiety level before the intervention ( P > 0. 05 ); while there was significant difference between both groups after the intervention, the anxiety level of the experimental group was obviously lower than that of the control group ( 3 days before surgery, normal: 70.00% vs 44.44%, χ2 =4.519, P < 0. 05; one week after oporation, normal: 84.00% vs 60.49 %, χ2 = 3. 098, P < 0. 05 ); the anxiety level of the experimental group after the intervention was decreased, compared with that before the intervention ( normal :54.00% vs 84.00%, χ2 = 3. 592, P < 0. 05 ). Conclusions Nursing intervention on patients after liver transplantation could decrease their anxiety and reduce the occurrence of their psychiatric symptoms.
