Objective:To explore the effect of solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) on negative emotions such as anxiety and depression in patients with ulcerative colitis.Methods:From April 2018 to December 2019, a total of 160 patients with ulcerative colitis who met inclusion criteria were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group and underwent psychological interventions. We employed conventional psychological interventions for the control group and solution-focused brief therapy for the experimental group. The Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) were used to evaluate post-intervention effects.Results:Before intervention, there were no statistically significant differences in patient demographics, treatment plans, anxiety scores, or depression scores between the two groups of patients. After intervention, the HAMA score of the experimental group was (10.91±8.96) points, which was statistically significantly lower than the control group (12.73±7.98) points ( t value was 5.099, P<0.05). The HAMD score of the patients in the experimental group was (12.02±9.21) points, which was statistically significantly lower than the control group (14.85±8.91) points ( t value was 4.856, P<0.05). Conclusion:Solution-focused brief therapy may be a better approach than traditional psychological intervention methods to manage anxiety, depression, and other negative emotions in patients with ulcerative colitis.
