Intracranial aneurysm is a common disease in neurosurgery whose greatest risk is causing death and cripple due to aneurysm breakage and hemorrhage. The complications caused by surgery similarly lead to assignable consequence. Therefore, the treatments for unruptured intracranial aneurysm are still being debated. Being with unruptured intracranial aneurysm makes patients feel anxiety and depression so as to affect their psychological state. This paper reviewed the current situation, influencing factors and common evaluation tools of anxiety and depression in patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysm to provide a basis for identifying unruptured intracranial aneurysm high-risk groups with anxiety and depression and making appropriate mental nursing intervention so as to improve patients' life quality.

Intracranial aneurysm is a common disease in neurosurgery, and its greatest risk lies in the death and disability caused by hemorrhage after aneurysm ruptured. In view of the quality of life of patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIA), this paper reviews the evaluation tools, influencing factors, nursing interventions and other aspects combined with domestic and foreign literatures to provide references for further study on the quality of life of UIA patients.
