Abstract:
Objective To investigate the influence of humanitarian care on the depression and the anxiety of patients before they receive their abdominal surgery. Methods 98 patients were randomly derided into the experi-ment group and the control group and each group consisted of 49 patients. Humanitarian care was conducted in the ex-periment group while the control group only implemented the traditional functional nursing. Self-rating Depression Scale and Self-rating Anxiety Scale were used as the evaluation tools. Results The depression and the anxiety values of patients in the experiment group were obviously lower than those in the control group. Comparing both groups (P <0.05), such difference was of statistical significance. Conclusion The humanitarian care can reduce the feeling of depression and anxiety of patients, which is good for the recovery after surgery.
