Objective To explore the effects of emotional intervention based on traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)theory on anxiety and depression symptoms in young patients with cancers.Methods A total of 70 young inpatients with cancers in our hospital from August 2021 to August 2022 were selected and randomized 1:1 to receive routine psychological intervention(the control group)or emotional intervention based on TCM theory(the treatment group),and the intervention outcomes of the two groups were calculated after 4 weeks,aiming to compare the changes in anxiety and depression symptoms(evaluated by the Hamilton Anxiety Scale[HAMA]and the Beck Depression Inventory[BDI],respectively),the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale([CD-RISC],scaled by five factors:positive acceptance of change,spiritual influences,tolerance of negative affect,control,and competence),and the Trust in Nurse Scale scores(scaled by 6 items and 2 factors,including attitude and care,competency and security)before and after intervention.Results After treatment,HAMA and BDI scores in the both groups were decreased(P＜0.05),which decreased notably in the treatment group compared with the control group(P＜0.05).The five factors and total scores of CD-RISC in the both groups were increased(P＜0.05),the increase in the treat-ment group was more common than the control group(P＜0.05).The two factors and total scores on the Trust in Nurse Scale in the both groups were increased(P＜0.05),the increase in the treatment group was more prevalent compared with the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The emotional intervention based on TCM theory in the clinical care of young patients with cancers has definite effectiveness,effectively alleviates the patients'anxiety and depression symptoms,improves the patients'men-tal adaptive abilities,enhances the degree of trust between nurses and patients,and helps the patients facing the diseases posi-tively and optimistically.
