Abstract

To analyze the application effect of health education combined with psychological nursing on the patients receiving cardiothoracic surgery, 70 patients receiving cardiothoracic surgery in out hospital from June 2016 to January 2018 were chosen as the objects of study. They were classified into two groups at random according to the numeration table. The conventional nursing was conducted for the control group (35 cases), while health education combined with psychological nursing was applied in the research group (35 cases). Clinical nursing effects of both groups were summarized and compared. Result show that, Visual analogue scale (VAS) scores of the research group after receiving nursing for 2w and 4w were significantly lower than that of control group, and the differences had statistical significance (P<0.05). The compliance rate of research group was significantly higher than that of control group, and the differences had statistical significance (P<0.05). Therefore, the application of health education combined with psychological nursing for the patients receiving cardiothoracic surgery contributes to relieving patients’ pain score and improving their clinical compliance, so it deserves to be promoted and applied clinically.
