Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effect of empathy nursing intervention on negative emotion, sleep quality and health literacy of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.Methods:A total of 77 patients in Department of Infectious Diseases of People′s Hospital of Leshan from June 2019 to September 2020 were divided into intervention group ( n=39) and control group ( n=38) by random digits table method. The patients in the control group were given routine nursing, and the patients in the intervention group were given empathy nursing intervention on the basis of routine nursing. Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Health Literacy Management Scale (HeLMS) were used before and 12 weeks after intervention to evaluate the effects. Results:There was no significant difference in the total scores of HAMD, HAMA, PSQI and HeLMS between the two groups before intervention ( P>0.05), but after intervention, the scores of HAMD and HAMA in the intervention group were 10.64 ± 1.86, 12.64 ± 2.12, lower than those in the control group (14.63 ± 2.19, 15.11 ± 2.71). The differences were statistically significant ( t=-8.63, -4.46, P<0.05). The total score of PSQI and the scores of daytime dysfunction, use of hypnotic drugs, time of falling asleep, time of sleep, sleep quality, sleep disorder and sleep efficiency in the intervention group were 10.26 ± 1.65, 1.22 ± 0.22, 1.48 ± 0.23, 1.51 ± 0.27, 1.45 ± 0.26, 1.57 ± 0.22, 1.54 ± 0.21,1.49 ± 0.24, lower than those in the control group (13.07 ± 2.14, 1.92 ± 0.31, 1.75 ± 0.34, 1.95 ± 0.29, 2.02 ± 0.33, 1.84 ± 0.31, 1.72 ± 0.27, 1.87 ± 0.29). The differences were statistically significant ( t values were -11.45--3.27, all P<0.05). The total score of HeLMS and the scores of information acquisition, communication and interaction, and health improvement intention in the intervention group were 96.12 ± 14.71, 37.87 ± 5.83, 35.91 ± 5.13, 16.21 ± 2.53, higher than those in the control group (86.35 ± 14.12, 33.17 ± 5.27, 32.87 ± 5.42, 14.16 ± 2.19). The differences were statistically significant ( t values were 2.53-3.80, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Empathy nursing intervention can effectively alleviate the negative emotions of pulmonary tuberculosis patients, improve their sleep quality, and improve their health literacy level.
