Abstract

Objective: To explore the effects and satisfaction of comfort nursing plus psychological nursing in the clinical nursing of neurology patients.

Methods: In this prospective study, 90 neurology patients admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to January 2020 were recruited and randomized into a control group and an experimental group with 45 cases in each group. The control group received routine care, and the experimental group received comfort care plus psychological care. The comfort scores and nursing satisfaction of the two groups were compared. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD) was used to assess the emotional state of patients before and after the intervention. The Exercise of Self-care Agency Scale (ESCA) was used to assess the patient's self-care ability after the intervention.

Results: The comfort scores of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group ( < 0.05). The experimental group showed significantly higher satisfaction than the control group ( < 0.05). Patients in the experimental group had lower HAD scores after intervention than those in the control group ( < 0.05). After the intervention, the experimental group had higher ESCA scores and a higher Barthel index than the control group ( < 0.05).

Conclusion: Comfort nursing plus psychological care improves nursing satisfaction and self-care ability of neurology patients and relieves their negative emotions.
