RESUMO
Objective To investigate the application value of solution focused brief therapy in the caring of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Methods A total of 180 active UC patients were assigned into control group (90 cases) and observation group (90 cases) using random number table. The two groups were given continuous nursing. For the observation group, the patients received the intervention of solution-focused brief therapy. SF-36 Health Survey (SF-36), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) and treatment efficacy rate before and after the interventions were compared between the two groups. Univariate analysis was used to determine the related factors of effective treatment of UC. Results Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in the eight scales of SF-36 between the two groups (P>0.05). After the intervention, the eight scales of SF-36, ie, physical functioning, role limitations due to physical health problems, bodily pain, vitality, general health, social functioning, role limitations due to emotional health problems, and mental health were (70.0±20.9), (72.2± 16.3), (71.9 ± 21.7), (68.7 ± 18.2), (70.4 ± 19.3), (69.5 ± 20.4), (68.9 ± 19.3), (72.6 ± 19.7) points in the observation group, and (62.2 ± 18.7), (66.3 ± 18.8), (65.7 ± 15.2), (62.6 ± 17.4), (62.9 ± 14.9), (63.5 ± 14.6), (61.9±15.2), (64.1±14.5) points in the control group, and there was significant difference between the two groups (t=2.220-3.291, P<0.01). Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in SAS and SDS between the two groups(P>0.05). After the intervention, SASand SDS was (37.3±10.8), (36.8±10.6) points in the observation group and (41.0 ± 11.6), (41.3 ± 12.7) points in the control group, and there was significant difference between the two groups (t=2.215, 2.581, P<0.05) . The efficacy rate was 88.9％(80/90) in the observation group, and 73.3％(66/90) in the control group, and there was significant difference between the two groups (χ2=7.420, P=0.024). Solution focused brief therapy was the related factor of effective treatment in UC patients (χ2=7.107, P=0.008). Conclusions Solution focused brief therapy could improve the quality of life, reduce anxiety and depression, and increase the treatment efficacy in patients with UC, which was an effective intervention method with clinical application value.
