Background:
Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is a familiar critical disease in the intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Nursing staff are important spiritual pillars during the treatment of patients, and in addition to routine nursing, more attention needs be paid to the patient's psychological changes.
Aim:
To investigate the effects of psychological intervention in ICU patients with SAP.
Methods:
One hundred ICU patients with SAP were hospitalized in the authors' hospital between 2020 and 2023 were selected, and divided into observation and control groups per the hospitalization order. The control and observation groups received routine nursing and psychological interventions, respectively. Two groups are being compared, using the Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-Determination Scale (SDS), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II, and 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) scores; nursing satisfaction of patients; ICU care duration; length of stay; hospitalization expenses; and the incidence of complications.
Results:
After nursing, the SDS, SAS, and APACHE II scores in the experimental group were significantly lower than in the control group (P < 0.05). The SF-36 scores in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The nursing satisfaction of patients in the experimental group was 94.5%, considerably higher than that of 75.6% in the control group (P < 0.05). The ICU care duration, length of stay, and hospitalization expenses in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group, and the incidence of complications was lower (P < 0.05).
Conclusion:
For patients with SAP, the implementation of standardized psychological intervention measures can effectively alleviate adverse psychological conditions.

Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
