Influence of nursing intervention on patients with schizophrenia receiving repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation

Abstract

Objective To explore the influence of nursing intervention on patients with schizophrenia receiving repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) treatment. Methods A total of 80 patients with schizophrenia receiving (rTMS) treatment were randomly divided into intervention group 40 cases and control group 40 cases by random digits table method. The control group was given routine care, and the intervention group was given routine nursing and nursing intervention. Before and after treatment, the curative effect was evaluated by the Positive And Negative Symptoms Scale, and the completion of the treatment between two groups was compared. Results The Positive Scale score, Negative Scale score, General Psychopathology Scale, total score in intervention group after treatment were lower than those in control group:(13.1±2.3)points vs. (16.7±2.1)points,(11.5±2.6)points vs. (15.3±2.3)points, (28.3±2.3)points vs. (30.9±2.2)points, (56.9±1.8)points vs. (67.4±1.7)points, and there were significant differences,t= 2.398, 2.401, 2.452, 2.191, P<0.05. There was no significant difference in the rTMS completion,χ2=5.541, P<0.05. Conclusions Nursing intervention can effectively improve the patients with schizophrenia completion of rTMS treatment to improve mental symptoms, so as to improve the clinical curative effect, promote patients recovery of disease.
