Objective To discuss effective nursing measures to reduce incidence rate of anxiety and depression caused by α-intefferen treatment,and to enable the successful completion of interferon treatment for hepatitis B patients. Methods Hepatitis B patients(220 cases) receiving α-interferon treatment were randomly divided into the intervention group(115 cases) and the control group(105 cases).The control group adopted conventional nursing,while in the intervention group,comprehensive intervention measures such as close observation,psychological intervention,symptomatic treatment intervention were used.Zung self-rating depression scale (SDS) was used to compare the incidence rate of anxiety and depression.The completion of treatment was also compared between the two groups. Results After 3,6 and 12 months of treatment incidence rate of anxiety and depression in the intervention group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05).There were 112 cases completed treatment in the intervention group,which were higher than those of the control group,72 cases (P<0.01). Conclusions Nursing intervention measures such as close observation,psychological intervention,symptomatic treatment can reduce incidence rate of anxiety and depression caused by a-interferon treatment.

Objective To assess the mental health status of the pregnant women with missed abor-tion, as well as related influencing factors, and to provide the basis for mental nursing. Methods 100 pregnant women with missed abortion were chosen as the observation group by convenience sampling, while other 100 normal pregnant women as the control group. The mental state of the pregnant women in both groups was evaluated by using symptom checklist-90 (SCL-90), the results of which were then studied in contrast using t test and variance analysis. Results The total scores and the average scores of pregnant women in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group. The mental health status of pregnant women with missed abortion was influenced by age, education degree, and the times of pregnancy. Conclusions There are significant mental health problems in pregnant women with missed abortion, to which should be paid much attention. And the psychological counseling should be carried out in time in case of detrimental influences in treatment, rehabilitation, and next pregnancy.
