Abstract:
Objective To study the effectiveness of nursing intervention on advanced cognitive function and mood disorder in patients with cerebellum tumor and provide basis for clinical care.Methods A total of 144 patients with cerebellar tumor were selected from February 2014 to April 2016 in Neurosurgery Department,Beijing Tian Tan Hospital. Patients were divided to observation group (n=72) and control group (n=72) according to admission order. Patients of the observation received nursing intervention that could improve advanced cognitive function and mood disorder while patients of the control group underwent usual care. Mini-mental State Examination(MMSE), Memory Quotient (MQ), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) were applied to evaluate patients' advanced cognitive function and mood disorder before and after intervention in both groups.Results For the observation group, score of MMSE was (19.8±1.6) points and MQ was (107.0±14.6) points which were both higher than those of the control group (t=12.834, 4.234;P< 0.01) at 90 days after operation. At 180 days after operation, for the observation group, score of HAMA was (11.6±2.1) points and HAMD was (15.0±2.8) points which were both lower than those of the control group (t=8.116, 8.583;P<0.01).Conclusions Nursing intervention could improve the advanced cognitive function and mood disorder in patients with cerebellum tumor clearly which could improve cognitive function in language and memory, relieve mood disorder like depression and anxiety, and it is suitable for clinical promotion.
