Results The average integral of HAMD, SDS, HAMA in observation group after cognitive nursing intervention were obviously decreased than which before treatment, and which in observation group were obviously decreased than which in control group(P 0.05). The integral of Barthel after cognitive nursing intervention between the two groups were obviously increased than which before nursing intervention(P 0.05), while the differences between the two groups was no statistical significance(P 0.05). The differences of total effective rate was statistical significance compared with observation group(90.0%) and control group(78.3%)(P 0.05). Conclusion Cognitive nursing intervention could obviously improve the psychological state and depressive symptoms in patients PSD, could promote neural functional recovery, is worthy of clinical application.
