Objective:
To investigate the anxiety and depression status of perioperative patients with thoracic tumors and evaluate the effects of psychological intervention.
Methodology:
This was a retrospective study. A total of one hundred patients with thoracic tumors admitted to the Thoracic Surgery Department of Affiliated Hospital of Hebei University from January 2023 to October 2024 were selected and divided into an observation group and a control group by the specific intervention administered. The control group received standard treatment, while the observation group received targeted psychological intervention in addition to standard treatment based on individual conditions. The two groups were compared in terms of anxiety and depression levels, patient compliance, sleep quality, quality of life, hospitalization satisfaction, and adverse reactions.
Results:
After the intervention, the scores on the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, Self-Rating Depression Scale, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index in the intervention group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P< 0.05, respectively). The intervention group also showed significant improvement in physical function, mental function, social function, and material living conditions compared to the control group (P< 0.05, respectively). The overall compliance rate in the intervention group was 86.00%, significantly higher than the 68.00% in the control group (P< 0.05). Moreover, patient satisfaction in the intervention group reached 92.00%, significantly higher than 76.00% in the control group (P< 0.05).
Conclusion:
Perioperative patients with thoracic tumors have a high incidence of anxiety and depression. Comprehensive and effective psychological intervention can effectively alleviate anxiety and depression, enhance patient compliance, improve sleep quality and overall quality of life, and increase hospitalization satisfaction.
