Abstract:
Objective To investigate the application effect of group therapy in improving the subjective well-being (SWB) of elderly patients with long-term hospitalization. Methods Totally 100 cases of elderly patients admitted in geriatric ward of Ningbo First Hospital for long-time were selected. Newfoundland scale of happiness (MUNSH) scale and the negative life events questionnaire were used to investigate elderly inpatients, and patients with MUNSH ≤12 points received group therapy. Patients were divided into several groups to receive the intervention according to the negative life events. One year after intervention,patients receiving group therapy were evaluated again by using MUNSH scale to evaluate the intervention effect. Results Among 100 elderly patients,there were 32 cases of high SWB,3 cases of low SWB,and 65 cases of medium SWB. 53 cases of patients had sleep disorders,and 62.26% of them had low SWB. After intervention,the scores of negative experience and emotion of elderly patients were lower than those before intervention (P<0.05);the scores of positive emotion and positive experience and the total MUNSH score were higher than those before intervention (P < 0.05). Conclusions According to the different influencing factors,group interventions can significantly improve the SWB level of elderly patients with long-term hospitalization,so as to improve their quality of life.
