Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of targeted psychological intervention combined with standardized pain care on postoperative pain, depression, and anxiety in patients with intestinal obstruction.

Methods: 84 patients with intestinal obstruction hospitalized at our hospital from October 2019 to February 2021 were randomly divided into study and control groups. The patients in the control group were treated with routine nursing, and the patients in the study group were treated with focused psychological intervention combined with standardized pain nursing. The pain degree (VAS), depression and anxiety (SDS, SAS) score, sleep quality (PSQI) score, and nursing satisfaction of the two groups before and after intervention were calculated.

Results: Before intervention, no significant differences in VAS score between the study and control groups were observed. The VAS score of 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, and 48 h dry prognosis in the study group was lower than that in the control group. There was no significant difference in the scores of SDS and SAS between two groups. After intervention, the scores of SDS and SAS in the study group were lower than those in the control group. After intervention, the scores of daytime dysfunction, hypnotic drugs, sleep disorders, sleep efficiency, sleep time, and sleep quality in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group. The scores of nursing state, nursing technique, nurse-patient communication, and inspection observation in the study group were higher than those in the control.

Conclusion: The intervention of focused psychological intervention combined with standardized pain nursing on patients with intestinal obstruction can effectively relieve their negative emotion and reduce the degree of postoperative pain. In addition, it can improve patients' sleep quality and enhance patients' satisfaction with all kinds of nursing work.
