Focus on the effect of nursing care combined with cognitive intervention and functional training on negative emotion, compliance and quality of life in elderly patients with sudden deafness: A retrospective study

Abstract

To explore the effects of focused solution nursing combined with cognitive intervention combined with functional training on negative emotions, compliance and quality of life in elderly patients with sudden deafness. A total of 160 patients with sudden deafness in the elderly who were treated in our hospital from January 2019 to May 2021 were selected as the objects of this retrospective study. Based on different treatment approaches, subjects were divided into a control group and an observation group. Due to reasons such as the COVID-19 pandemic and transfers, 10 cases were lost to follow-up. In total, 75 cases were ultimately lost from both the control and observation groups. The control group implements cognitive intervention and functional training, and the observation group adopts focused solution nursing care on the basis of the control group. Observe and compare the effects of negative emotions, psychological distress, air conduction threshold level, compliance and quality of life of the 2 groups of patients. The air conduction hearing threshold level of the 2 groups of patients after nursing was lower than that before nursing and the observation group was lower than the control group. The positive coping scores of the 2 groups were significantly increased, and the negative coping scores were both significantly reduced and the observation group was in the 2 indicators. The degree of change was greater than that of the control group (P < .05). After nursing, the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) of the observation group were lower than those of the control group (P < .05). The mental vitality score, social interaction score, emotional restriction score, and mental status of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group. The observation group’s psychological compliance, activity compliance, dietary compliance, and treatment protocol compliance were significantly higher than those of the control group (P < .05). Adopting the focused solution model of nursing care can provide a better nursing recovery for elderly patients with sudden deafness, significantly improve the patient quality of life and anxiety and depression, improve patient compliance with treatment, and provide a certain reference for the nursing of elderly patients with sudden deafness.
