Nutritional Intervention and Emotional Nursing Alleviate Anxiety and Improve Sleep Quality in Tinnitus and Deafness Patients

Abstract

This study has evaluated the influence of nutrition intervention and emotional nursing on anxiety and sleep quality in tinnitus and deafness patients. A total of 100 patients with tinnitus and deafness received therapy between January 2022 and December 2022. The patients were divided into control (n = 50) and treatment (n = 50) groups. All patients were given drugs and traditional Chinese acupuncture treatment. In addition, the control group was given routine nursing, and the treatment group was given nutritional intervention plus emotional nursing. The therapeutic effects, nutritional indexes, negative emotions, sleep quality, quality of life, and treatment compliance of patients in both groups were compared. The total effective rate in the treatment group was elevated when compared to the control group. After nursing, serum albumin, prealbumin, hemoglobin, and transferrin levels in the treatment group were higher; the Hamilton Depression Scale, Hamilton Anxiety Scale, and Pittsburgh sleep quality index scores in the treatment group were lower; the Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74 score and treatment compliance in the treatment group were higher compared to the control group. To sum up, nutrition intervention and emotional nursing can improve anxiety and sleep quality and promote the nutritional state of tinnitus and deaf patients.
