Objective To explore the effects of solution-focused approach on improving preoperative anxiety and depression in colorectal cancer patients, so as to provide evidence for clinical nursing intervention. Methods A total of 120 patients with colorectal cancer admitted from July 2016 to June 2017 were enrolled in this study by purposive sampling method. The patients were numbered according to the order of admission, and randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group, with 60 cases in each group. In the control group, routine nursing intervention was conducted. The observation group was treated with solution-focused approach. Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) were applied to assess patients on admission and after intervention. Results The scores of SAS and SDS of the control group were (46.53±9.21) and (34.94±7.62) respectively, which were higher than those of the experimental group (41.11±8.94) and (29.82±6.82), and the differences were statistically significant (t=3.271, 3.878;P<0.01). Conclusions Solution-focused approach can improve the level of preoperative anxiety and depression in patients with colorectal cancer, which is worthy of clinical application.

ObjectiveTo analyze the prevalence and influencing factors of mental health problems among hypertensive patients in Ya'an city five years after the Lushan earthquake， so as to provide references for promoting the mental health of hypertensive patients in earthquake-stricken areas. MethodsStratified random cluster sampling method was adopted to select 800 hypertensive patients in Ya'an city in December 2018. The general information of patients were collected via a self-designed questionnaire， and their mental health problems were assessed via the 12-item General Health Questionnaire （GHQ-12）.Then Logistic regression analysis was applied to explore the influencing factors. ResultA total of 744 valid questionnaires （93.00%） were obtained， and mental health problems were detected in 79 cases （10.62%）. Univariate analysis denoted that the detection rate of mental health problems yielded statistical difference among patients of different marital status （P<0.01）， family per capita monthly income （P=0.012） and social assistance recipients （χ²=25.194， P<0.01）. Logistic regression analysis indicated that the unmarried/separated/divorced/widowed status （OR=3.879， P=0.015） and social assistance recipients （OR=4.705， P<0.01） were risk factors for mental health problems among hypertensive patients. ConclusionThe detection rate of mental health problems is low among hypertensive patients in Ya'an city， while the unmarried/separated/divorced/widowed and social assistance recipients may suffer more serious mental health problems.
