Objective To discuss the intervention effect of cognition therapy for perioperative patients of digestive tract with depression and/or anxiety symptoms.Methods 135 patients with digestive tract operation were randomly divided into intervention group and non-intervention group.The patients in intervention group accepted cognition therapy.The Mores of SDS and SAS,the curative effect and hospitalized time were compared among the two groups and the norlns of our country at last.Results (1)The scores of SDS and SAS in the two group patients in pre-operation were no difference(P＞0.05),but all were significantly higher than those of the norms of our country(P＜0.01).It indicated that patients have evident depression and/or anxiety symptoms pre-operation. (2)Compared with pre-operation,the scores of SDS and SAS in the intervention group patients showed significantly lower after operation(P＜0.01),which returned to the norms of our country(P＞0.05),and showed lower than those of the non-intervention group predominantly (P＜0.01).This indicated that cognition therapy can relieve the depression and/or anxiety symptoms of the perioperative patients.(3)Though the therapeutic effect of the two group are similar(P＞0.05),but the hospitalized fime decurated in the intervention group predominantly(P＜0.01).Conclusion The periopexative patients of digestive tract had obvious depression and/or anxiety symptoms.Cognition therapy could relieve the depression and/or anxiety sympmms of the perioperative patients,this was helpful for patients to recover early.
