Results There was no statistical significance in terms of the differences of SAS and SDS score of the patients of the two groups before the intervention (P>0.05). After the intervention, the SAS and SDS scores of the study group were significantly lower than that of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P 0.05). After the intervention, the score of the field of physiological, psychological, social and environmental fields of the study group were higher than that of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P< 0.05).
