Effect of high-quality nursing on psychological status and prognosis of patients undergoing brain tumor surgery.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of high-quality nursing on psychological status and prognosis of patients undergoing brain tumor surgery. METHODS One hundred and ten patients undergoing brain tumor surgery were divided into control group (n=55, receiving routine nursing) and observation group (n=55, receiving high-quality nursing). The psychological status (Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD)), quality of life (Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74 Scale (GQOLI-74)), prognosis (Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS)), self-efficacy (Strategies Used by People to Promote Health Scale (SUPPH)) and complications of patients in both groups were recorded and compared. RESULTS After intervention, scores of HAMA and HAMD in both groups decreased, while scores of GOS, GQOLI-74 and SUPPH in both groups increased (all P 0.05). The overall complication rate in the observation group was lower than that in the control group during hospitalization (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Perioperative high-quality nursing for patients undergoing brain tumor surgery can significantly alleviate the adverse psychological states, reduce the complication rate and improve the postoperative self-efficacy and quality of life.
