Effect of Behavioral Therapy Based on Criterion Theory on Elderly Patients Undergoing Prostatectomy
Objective:To investigate the effect of behavioral therapy based on criterion theory on elderly prostatectomy patients.Meth-ods:Selecting 200 elderly patients who underwent prostatectomy from February 1,2021 to February 28,2023 as the research subjects,they were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group of 100 cases each.Traditional prostatectomy nursing intervention was performed in control group,and behavioral therapy intervention based on criterion theory was performed in observation group.The Ham-ilton Depression Rating Scale(HAMD),Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale(HAMA)scores,stress indicators[epinephrine(EPI)and cortisol(COR)],symptom improvement,and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment(WHOQOL)scores before and after inter-vention were compared between two groups.Results:After intervention,the HAMA and HAMD scores of both groups were lower than before intervention(P<0.01),and the observation group was lower than the control group(P<0.01).After intervention,the EPI and COR indica-tors in both groups were lower than before intervention(P<0.05),and the observation group was lower than the control group(P<0.05).After intervention,the International Prostate Symptom Scale(IPSS)scores and residual urine volume(RUV)of both groups were lower than before intervention(P<0.05),and the observation group was lower than the control group(P<0.05),the maximum urine flow rate(Qmax)was higher than before intervention(P<0.05),and the observation group was higher than the control group(P<0.05).The psychological function,physical function,social function,and material life scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Behavioral therapy based on criterion theory can alleviate negative emotions,alleviate stress reactions,and improve pel-vic floor muscle function and quality of life in elderly patients undergoing prostatectomy.
