The effects of positive psychological intervention on obstetric surgery patients' mental states, pain levels, and quality of life.

To explore the effect of positive psychological intervention (PPI) on the psychological state, pain levels, and quality of life of patients undergoing obstetric surgery. A total of 96 patients undergoing obstetric surgery in The Second Hospital of Shandong University from March 2018 to May 2019 were selected for this study. They were equally and randomly separated into a control and an observation group. We found the postoperative hospital stays, bleeding times, feeding times, and activity times of the observation group with PPI were shorter than they were in the control group without PPI (P<0.05). Moreover, the SAS and SDS scores, and the pain levels of the observation group were significantly lower than they were in the control group (P<0.05), resulting in improved quality of life scores in the observation group (P<0.05). Furthermore, the overall incidences of postpartum hemorrhage, infections, depression, constipation, and bedsores were significantly lower in the observation group than they were in the control group (25% vs 77.08%, P<0.05). In conclusion, PPI can improve the mental states of patients undergoing obstetric surgery and improve their quality of life. AJTR
