Abstract
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of chronic disease nursing of traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) on depression in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) .
MethodsFrom June 2015 to June 2016, 120 CHB patients with various degree of depression were divided into control group and observation group with 60 each. Patients in control group received routine medical treatment and nursing. Patients in the observation group on the basis of routine medical treatment and nursing were combined with chronic disease nursing of TCM. We compared the difference of SDS score, TCM syndrome and SF-36 score between the two groups before and after intervention.
ResultsAfter intervention, the SDS score of observation group dropped from (57.95±3.42) to (47.68±4.46) . The SDS score of control group dropped from (57.40±3.83) to (49.62±5.30) . The SDS score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (t=2.161 9, P<0.05) . The total effective rate of TCM syndromes in observation group was 86.67%. The total effective rate of TCM syndromes in control group was 71.67% (χ2=6.442 3, P<0.05) . The difference total score of SF-36 between before and after in the observation group (1.00 ± 0.65) was higher than that of the control group (0.73 ± 0.74) (t=2.131 8, P<0.05) .
ConclusionsThe nursing management of chronic diseases in TCM can relieve the depression and improve the quality of life in CHB patients.
