ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical nursing path on the psychological status of cerebral infarction patients hospitalized for the first time.Methods Two hundred cerebral infarction patients hospitalized for the first time were equally randomized into the observation group and control group:the former used conventional nursing method and the latter a clinical nursing path.The self-rating depression scale(SDS)and self-rating anxiety scale(SAS)were used to assess their psychological state.Results After intervention,the scores on SDS and SAS in the former group were significantly lower than those in the latter group(all P<0.05). The satisfaction rate in the former was higher than that of the control(P<0.05).Conclusion The clinical nursing path makes it possible to effectively alleviate the psychological burden of the cerebral infarction patients hospitalized for the first time and improve the patients’satisfaction with nursing working.
