Objective To explore the effects of reminiscence therapy on anxiety,depression and quality of life in patients with thyroid cancer after thermal ablation.Method A total of 100 patients undergoing ultrasound-guided thermal ablation for thyroid micropapillary carcinoma admitted to the ultrasonic medicine Department of Jining First People's Hospital from July 2021 to July 2022 were selected by convenience sampling method.They were randomly divided into control group and experimental group(50 cases each).The control group received routine nursing.The experimental group added reminiscence therapy on the basis of routine care.The scores of the self-rating Anxiety scale,Hammel Depression Scale and Quality of Life questionnaire were performed immediately after the completion of ultrasound-guided thermal ablation and six weeks after the recall therapy.Results After intervention,SAS score of experimental group 47.84±3.30 was lower than that of control group 56.72±3.14.HAMD score was 10.00±2.36,which was lower than that of control group 20.70±2.65.The score of life questionnaire 75.42±2.21 was higher than that of control group 61.52±2.01.The role score was 74.40±2.29,which was higher than that of the control group 59.60±3.16.The cognitive score 78.68±3.62 was higher than that of the control group 61.46±3.62.The emotional score 91.22±2.99 was higher than that of the control group 80.84±4.41.The social score 75.94±3.56 was higher than that of the control group 64.26±2.90.The overall score 75.94±3.56 was higher than that of the control group 64.26±2.90,which was statistically signif-icant between the two groups(P<0.001).Conclusion The intervention based on reminiscence therapy has positive effects on patients' mood and quality of life.It conforms to the psychological needs of current cancer patients,and can effectively reduce their anxiety and depression,improve their quality of life,and increase their happiness.
