Abstract
Objective To investigate the effects of cognitive behavior therapy on anxiety and depression for patients with aneurysm clipping. Methods A total of 80 patients with aneurysm clipping were chosen and averagely divided into intervention group with cognitive behavior therapy based on control group and control group taking routine nursing and health education by random number table. The mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and heart rate(HR)were compared and documented the level of anxiety and depression by SAS and SDS. Results Compared with the control group, after the interventions the SAS [(52.12±3.46)] and SDS [(31.25±2.82)] score were dramatically decreased in the intervention group (t=2.98, 3.14; P<0.05); and the MAP [(88.5±2.8)mmHg] and HR [(87.5±3.7)beats/min] in the intervention group were better than these of the control group as well (t=3.74, 3.23; P<0.05). Conclusions Cognitive behavior therapy can reduce the intensity of stress reaction and alleviate anxiety and depression emotions in the patients with aneurysm clipping.
