Abstract

Objective: To explore the effect of psychological nursing combined with biofeedback on the rehabilitation of patients with anxiety disorders. Methods: 100 patients with anxiety disorders in our hospital from January to December 2021 were randomly divided into two groups: control group (n = 50) and study group (n = 50). The control group was given routine nursing, while the study group was given psychological nursing combined with biofeedback. The changes of self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) score, self-rating depression scale (SDS) score, symptom score, and quality of life of the two groups were compared before and after nursing. Results: Before nursing, there was no significant difference in the scores of SAS and SDS between the two groups, but after nursing, the scores of SAS and SDS in the study group were lower than those in the control group, and the degree of improvement in the study group was higher than that of the control group. Before nursing, there was no significant difference in the scores of symptoms between the two groups (P > 0.05), but after nursing, the scores of stress, crying spells, tremor, and general discomfort in the study group were lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05). Besides, before nursing, there was no significant difference in the quality of life between the two groups (P > 0.05), but after nursing, the scores of physical function, psychological activity, social ability, and material life in the study group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Moreover, the degree of improvement after nursing in the study group was better than that of the control group. Conclusion: Psychological nursing combined with biofeedback to promote the rehabilitation of patients with anxiety disorders effectively improves the negative emotion of patients, reduces stress, depression, tremor, and general discomfort, and improve the overall quality of life. Therefore, it is worth further popularization.
