Effects of multi-dimensional collaborative nursing on negative emotional and pain in elderly patients with postherpetic neuralgia

Objective To observe the improvements of multi-dimension collaborative nursing care in the negative emotion and pain degree for elderly postherpetic neuralgia patients. Methods A total of 67 elderly postherpetic neuralgia patients treated from January 2015 to January 2017 in this hospital were selected.According to the difference of nursing methods, they were divided into 33 cases in the control group and 34 cases in the research group.The control group received routine nursing in the hospital.The research group adopted multi-dimensional collaborative nursing on the basis of routine nursing.Psychological status, pain degree, pain frequency and satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results The psychological state and pain in the first two groups were compared, and the differences were not statistically significant(P>0.05). After nursing, Hamilon Anxiety Scale (HAMA) score, Hamilon Depressin Scale (HAMD) score, pain degree, pain frequency and other indicators of the patients in the research group were superior to those in the control group and before nursing, and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). The satisfaction scores of attitude, skill level, psychological support, ward environment of patients to nurses in the research group were significantly better than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusions The implementation of multi-dimensional collaborative nursing for elderly patients with shingles can effectively improve the negative emotions and pain of patients, which is worthy of clinical application.
