Influence of classification of psychological guidance on anxiety and pain in endovascular interventional treatment of patients with cerebrovascular stenosis disease

Objective To discuss the effects of the classification of psychological guidance on the emotion and prognosis of patients with cerebrovascular stenosis disease undergoing intravascular interventional therapy and to investigate effective interventions. Methods A total of 101 patients with cerebrovascular stenosis disease who underwent intravascular interventional treatment from June 2014 to September 2016 were selected and divided into experimental group (n=52) and control group (n=49) using random number method. Patients in the control group accepted conventional preoperative education instruction, while patients in the experimental group received additional postoperative classified psychological guidance. The Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) , pain scores, postoperative blood pressure changes and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups before and after surgery. Results The number of preoperative patients who were not anxiety, possible anxiety and anxiety were 5, 20, and 27 respectively in the experimental group, and were 3, 19, and 27 in the control group. There was no statistic difference between two groups (Z=0.444, P=0.657) . The number of postoperative patients who were not anxiety, possible anxiety and anxiety were 29, 17, and 6 respectively in the experimental group, and were 14, 24, and 11 in the control group. There was a statistically significant difference between two groups (Z=2.710, P=0.007) . There were significant differences in pain score, blood pressure, dysuria and insomnia between the two groups after operation (P<0.05). Conclusions The classification of psychological guidance can effectively stabilize the patients' psychology and emotion who underwent the cerebral vascular interventional operation, relieve the pain, help to control the blood pressure, reduce complications and adverse reactions, and improve the prognosis of patients.
