Abstract:Objective To explore the effect of comfort nursing on patients with mental illness after modified electroconvulsive therapy (MECT).Methods A total of 62 psychiatric patients treated in our hospital from January 2017 to January 2019 were selected and divided into control group and an observation group by throwing the red/yellow doublecolor ball, 31 cases in each group.All patients were treated with MECT.In the control group, conventional nursing was used, while in the observation group, comfort nursing on this basis was adopted.The treatment compliance and comfort of the two groups of patients before and after nursing, the total nursing satisfaction were compared.Results There was no significant difference in comfort score and compliance between the two groups of patients before nursing (P>0.05).The comfort score of patients in the observation group after nursing was lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).After the nursing, the proportion of patients in the observation group with regular diet, compliance of medication following doctor′s advice, and regular examinations was higher than that in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).The total satisfaction of the observation group was higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion The implementation of comfort nursing for patients with mental illness treated by MECT can effectively enhance compliance, improve patients′ comfort, and increase total nursing satisfaction, which is worth clinical promoting.
