Effects of humanistic care on the preoperative negative emotion in patients undergoing eye surgery

Abstract

Objective To explore the effects of humanistic care on preoperative negative emotions in patients undergoing eye surgery, so as to alleviate the negative emotion and promote the rehabilitation process of the operation. Methods From October 2016 to February 2017, totals of 120 patients who were undergoing eye surgery from each of the 2 wards of the ophthalmology department in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were recruited in the research. All the patients were randomly divided into control group and observation group by coin tossing method. Routine nursing was applied in the control group, while on the basis of the control group, humanistic care was given to the observation group. The intervention effects were evaluated by the general information questionnaire, the Self-Perceived Burden Scale (SPBS) , Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) . Results There was no statistical difference in negative emotions between the two groups before intervention (P>0.05) . The scores of negative emotions all had a certain decrease after intervention. The scores of SPBS, SAS and SDS were (28.49±5.92) , (45.49±6.49) and (41.22±5.62) in the observation group after intervention respectively; while those scores were (34.95±6.56) , (58.57±8.56) and (54.53±6.45) in the control group respectively. The scores of the observation group were all lower than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (t=10.49, 6.45, 7.34; P<0.01) . Conclusions Humanistic care can obviously reduce patients' self-perceived burden, anxiety, depression and improve patients negative emotions.
