【 摘 要 】

Purpose To explore the intervention effect of psychological support therapy (PST) on elderly patients with femoral neck fracture. Methods A total of 82 elderly patients with femoral neck fractures admitted to our hospital from July 2020 to June 2021 were selected. Patients were randomly divided into conventional group ( n = 41) and intervention group ( n = 41). The conventional group received routine nursing care. The intervention group was given PST on the basis of the conventional group. The joint function, psychological state, pain, quality of life, and nursing satisfaction of both groups were observed. Results Compared with before intervention, the Harris hip joint score and the General Quality-of-Life Inventory-74 scores of both groups increased after the intervention, and the increase was more obvious in the intervention group ( p < 0.05). Compared with before intervention, the self-rating anxiety scale, the self-rating depression scale scores, and the visual analog scales score in both groups decreased after the intervention, and the decrease was more obvious in the intervention group ( p < 0.05). The total satisfaction of the intervention group (92.68%) was higher than that of the conventional group (75.61%) ( p < 0.05). Conclusion Psychological support therapy has a certain intervention effect on elderly patients with femoral neck fracture, which can improve psychological state, reduce pain, improve quality of life, and improve nursing satisfaction.
