Methods From August 2016 to July 2017, we selected 84 liver cancer patients with interventional therapy in He'nan Cancer Hospital as subjects by convenience sampling. Patients treated between August 2016 and January 2017 were set in control group, and patients from February to July 2017 were set in observation group, 42 cases in each group. Patients of control group were treated with routine nursing intervention. Observation group carried out problem-oriented nursing model. The intervention effects were evaluated with the Health Belief Scale, Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) . Results After intervention, the total score and dimension scores of Health Belief Scale of patients in observation group were higher than those in control group with statistical differences (P<0.01) .
