Objective To investigate the effect of evidence-based nursing on the clinical curative effect and prognosis of patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage. Methods 120 patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage were selected, and they were randomly divided into observation group(60 cases) and control group(60 cases) according to the digital table.The control group was treated with routine nursing, the observation group was treated with routine nursing and evidence-based nursing.Before and after nursing, the SDS, self rating anxiety scale (SAS), neurological deficit score NIHSS, Barthel score, the incidence of sequelae, hospitalization time, nursing quality score and patients' satisfaction with nursing were compared between the two groups. Results There were no statistically significant differences in SDS, SAS, NIHSS and Barthel scores between the two groups before nursing intervention(all P>0.05). After nursing intervention, the SDS, SAS, NIHSS and Barthel scores of the observation group were (38.74±6.21)points, (35.83±8.17)points, (11.24±3.08)points, (92.58±6.46)points, respectively, which in the control group were (44.58±7.10)points, (43.66±8.06)points, (15.34±3.29)points, (84.27±5.82)points, there were significant differences between the two groups (t=4.796, 5.285, 7.047, 7.403, all P<0.05). , The incidence rate of venous thrombosis, muscle atrophy and joint ankylosis sequelae of the observation group was 8.33%, which was lower than 40.00% of the control group, there was significant difference between the two groups(χ2=16.415, P<0.05). The hospitalization time of the observation group was (9.55±2.43)d, which was shorter than (15.97±4.68)d of the control group (t=9.430, P<0.05). The health education nursing quality score, ward management score, basic nursing score, nursing care of critical patients score, nursing document writing score of the observation group were (97.66±2.45)points, (98.23±3.46)points, (97.54±3.18)points, (96.88±3.49)points, (98.76±1.31)points, respectively, which were higher than those of the control group [(88.79±2.37)points, (90.72±3.52)points, (91.05±3.16)points, (91.67±5.34)points, (93.04±1.12)points], there were significant differences between the two groups(t=20.156, 11.786, 11.214, 6.326, 25.707, all P<0.05). The patients' nursing satisfaction of the observation group (96.67%) was higher than that of the control group (85.00%), there was significant difference between the two groups(χ2=4.904, P<0.05). Conclusion Evidence-based nursing can effectively relieve patients' anxiety and depression of patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage, improve the quality of life of patients, reduce the incidence of complications, shorten the hospitalization time, improve patients' satisfaction.
