Abstract

Objective: The effects of continuing nursing care under cognitive behavioral intervention on the psychological state and living quality of patients with double J catheter after ureterolithiasis surgery were analyzed in this research.

Methods: The research subjects in this study were 142 patients who were discharged from our hospital with a double J tube after ureterolithiasis surgeries from June 2019 to June 2020. According to the patient care plan, the subjects were divided into the control group (n=71) and the observation group (n=71) and respectively treated with routine basic nursing measures and continuing nursing care under cognitive-behavior intervention. Subsequently, the psychological state, living quality and the complications that occurred were compared between the two groups.

Results: The depression and anxiety scores of the two groups after 4 weeks of intervention, comparing to thoes before intervention, were seen with remarkably decreased significance (P<0.05). The scores of living quality and self-care quality of patients in the observation group were obviously higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). In addition, the incidence of complications in the observation group was critically lower than that in control group (P<0.05).

Conclusion: Continuous nursing care under cognitive behavioral intervention can substantially improve the psychological state, living quality and self-care ability of patients with double J tube after ureterolithiasis surgery, and reduce the incidence of complications, which is worthy of clinic promotion.
