Abstract
Objective: To analyze the psychological status of patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI), and to evaluate the effect of positive psychological intervention on the treatment and prognosis of ACI.
Methods: This was retrospective study. Eighty patients with ACI admitted to Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences from January 2021 to September 2022 were included and randomly divided into observation group (n=40) and control group(n=40). Patients in the control group received conventional treatment and routine care, while those in the observation group received positive psychological intervention based on the control group. Adverse psychological scores, treatment and prognosis, and quality of life as well as nursing satisfaction etc. were analyzed and compared between the two groups.
Results: Both groups showed a significant decrease in SDS and SAS scores at three months after the intervention compared with the pre-intervention period, with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05). After the intervention, the NIHSS score of both groups decreased, with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05). The FMAS and MBI scores increased in both groups compared with those before the intervention, with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05). The SS-QOL scores of both groups were significantly improved compared with before the intervention, with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05). The hospital satisfaction rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group, with a statistically significant difference (t=12.325, P=0.000).
Conclusion: Positive psychological intervention offers a variety of benefits in the treatment of patients with ACI, such as may alleviate anxiety and depression, reduce neurological deficits, improving quality of life and motor function, and ameliorate the prognosis of patients.
