RESUMO
Objective:To explore the therapeutic effect of psychological and drug intervention on anxiety and depres‐sion in patients after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) .Methods :A total of 115 patients performed CABG were randomly divided into combined intervention group (n=60) and routine nursing group (n=55) .During peropera‐tive period ,combined intervention group received psychological intervention ,flupentixol and melitracen tablet and sertraline based on routine nursing .A total of 25 matching normal people were selected from community and regar‐ded as normal control group ,scores of Zung self‐rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self‐rating depression scale (SDS) were evaluated and compared among three groups before and after operation .Results :Before intervention ,there were no significant difference in standard scores of SAS and SDS between combined intervention group and routine nursing group ( P > 0.05) ,but they were all significantly higher than those of normal control group , P < 0.01 all . After operation ,standard scores of SAS and SDS in combined intervention group were significantly lower than be ‐ fore operation ( P < 0.01 both) ,and they were significantly lower than those of routine nursing group [SAS : (41.31 ± 6.13) scores vs .(51.35 ± 8.95) scores ,SDS : (40.20 ± 5.80) scores vs .(51.22 ± 8.78) scores , P < 0.01 both] . Conclusion :Psychological combined drug intervention could significantly relieve anxiety and depression in patients after coronary artery bypass graft ,which is helpful for improving postoperative prognosis .
