ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of psychological nursing on the treadmill exercise tests(TET)in patients with cardiacneurosis.Methods 86 patients with cardiacneurosis were randomly divided into the treatment group(n=44)and the control group(n=42): both were treated with medication for two weeks and the former with extra treatment of psychological nursing intervention.Then the anxiety and depression among all the participants were assessed using the Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)and Self-rating Depression Scale(SDS).The two groups were compared in terms of anxiety and depression as well as TET.Results The scores on anxiety and depression in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group and the negative rate of TET was significantly higher than that in the control group(all P<0.05).Conclusion The psychological nursing intervention may reduce the anxiety and depression of the patients with cardiacneurosis and improve the accuracy of TET.
