Abstract
OBJECTIVE: We explored the influence of psychological intervention care on the negative mood and hope level of elderly patients undergoing knee arthroplasty. METHODS: A total of 98 elderly patients undergoing knee arthroplasty in our hospital were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, each with 49 people. The control group was given routine nursing care, and the observation group was given psychological intervention care plus routine nursing care. In the study, we compared the negative mood (Emotional distress Index Scale), preoperative hope level, quality of life, Range of Motion (ROM) of the knee, score of Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS), and satisfaction in the two groups of patients. RESULTS: Patients in the observation group had lower Xinqing index scores than the control group (P<0.001). The scores of preoperative hope level in the observation group were higher than those of the control group (P<0.001). The scores of physical function, general health, social function, emotional role, and mental health were higher in the observation group than in the control group (all P<0.01). The ROM scores of patients in the observation group were higher than those of the control group (P<0.001). The HSS scores of patients in the observation group were higher than those of the control group (P<0.001). The patients in the observation group were significantly more satisfied with the care during hospitalization than the control group. CONCLUSION:Psychological intervention care was effective for elderly patients undergoing knee arthroplasty. It could improve patients' negative mood, hope level, quality of life, and rehabilitation effects, and is worthy of clinical promotion and application. AJTR
