Objectives:
This study aimed to investigate the effect of positive psychological suggestions on self-efficacy and social functioning of patients undergoing replantation.
Methods:
The clinical data of 80 patients treated with replantation in our hospital were retrospectively selected and divided into two groups according to the different intervention methods. The control group (n=40) received conventional healthcare interventions, and the study group (n=40) received additionally positive psychological suggestions. The changes of self-efficacy, quality of life and moods were compared between the two groups before intervention, as well as at 7 d, 15 d, 30 d and 60 d after intervention. The effect of positive psychological suggestions on the incidence of complications and satisfaction rate of nursing intervention was also analyzed.
Results:
At 15 d, 30 d and 60 d after intervention, patients in the study group had higher self-efficacy scores, lower scores of the Social Functioning Deficit Scale as well as lower scores of Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and Self-Rating Depression Scale than those in the control group (P<0.05). The total scores of social support in the study group were higher than those in the control group 60 d after intervention (P<0.05). In addition, the SL-90 scale scores in the study group were lower than those in the control group 60 d after intervention (P<0.05).
Conclusions:
Positive psychological suggestions could improve the self-efficacy, social functioning and mood of patients undergoing replantation.
