Abstract:
Objective:To investigate eye movement desensitization and reprocessing on ICU memory and post-traumatic stress disorder among patients with ventilator associated pneumonia.Methods:Totally, 66 cases of ICU patients with ventilator associated pneumonia enrolled at Guangzhou Red Cross Hospital from August 2017 to August 2020 were collected as research object, they were randomly divided into intervention group and control group, with 33 cases in each groups. The control group received routine nursing care and cognitive training, in the intervention group, patients implemented EMDR therapy for 8 times. Before and after intervention, the effect was assessed by ICU memory scale and PTSD Checklist-Civilian Version, respectively.Results:After intervention, the scores of factual memories, emotional memories, delusional memories dimension and total ICUMS were (19.48±5.14), (10.45±2.62), (7.06±2.62) and (37.00±6.12) in the intervention group, those scores in the control group were (24.58±7.38), (13.58±4.07), (9.48±3.57) and (47.64±9.99), the difference was statically significant (t values were 3.14-5.22, all P<0.05). The re-experiencing, avoidance, hyperarousal dimensions scores and total PCL-C scores were (8.09±2.13), (10.42±2.62), (7.24±2.69) and (25.76±4.25) in the intervention group, and in the control group those scores were (9.30±2.35), (12.73±2.11), (9.24±2.51) and (31.27±4.97), the difference was statically significant (t values were 2.20-4.85, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Eeye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy can effectively alleviate ICU memory and improve PTSD symptoms of patients with ventilator associated pneumonia.
