ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of cognitive therapy and progressive relaxation training (CTPRT) on the operation anxiety of patients undergoing chemonucleolysis with collagenase.Methods120 patients undergoing chemonucleolysis with collagenase were randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group.The experimental group received routine care and CTPRT,while the control group only received routine care.The perioperative anxiety status,back and leg pain,heart rate,blood pressure,status of sleeping and urination of the two groups were evaluated respectively.ResultsAnxiety and pain degree in the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.01).About 30 min pre operation and postoperation,the heart rate and blood pressure of the experimental group were much lower than that of the control group (P<0.01).The experimental group also showed better sleep and urination status.ConclusionsThe cognitive therapy and progressive relaxation training can reduce degree of operation anxiety,release the pain and help promote sleep for patients undergoing chemonucleolysis with collagenase.
