Objective To explore the effect of positive ruminative thinking training(PRT)on negative emotions during modified electroconvulsive therapy(MECT)in depression patients.Method A total of 80 patients with depression who received MECT at Ganzhou Third People's Hospital from February 2024 to February 2025 were selected as subjects.Using a random number table method,they were divided into control group(n=40)and observation group(n=40).The control group received standard interventions,while the observation group received PRT in addition to control group's interventions.Both groups continued treatment until the completion of MECT,with all patients receiving 8-12 sessions of MECT.Negative emotions,self-efficacy,and the positive and negative ruminative thinking(PNR)scale were compared between two groups.Before and after intervention,adverse reactions were evaluated in both groups post-treatment.Results After intervention,the scores of anxiety,depression scale,and negative factor rumination thinking in observation group were lower than those in control group.The scores of general self-efficacy scale and positive factor rumination thinking were higher than those in control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The total incidence of adverse reactions in observation group was lower than that in control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion PRT can reduce negative emotions and negative rumination thinking in depression patients during MECT,improve positive rumination thinking and self-efficacy.
