Effect of hope theory nursing combined with rational emotion regulation strategies on the patients with secondary epilepsy after cerebral infarction
Objective To explore the impact of hope theory nursing combined with rational emotion regulation strategies on the hope level,psychological flexibility and coping style of patients with secondary epilepsy after cerebral infarction.Methods A total of 65 patients with secondary epilepsy after cerebral infarction who were admitted to the hospital from June to December 2022 were selected.Based on the principle of comparability of basic data,the patients were divided into an observation group of 33 cases and a control group of 32 cases.Patients in the observation group were given hope theory nursing combined with rational emotion regulation strategies,while patients in the control group were given rational emotion regulation strategies to analyze and compare the hope level,psychological flexibility,coping style and neurological function recovery of the two groups of patients before and after nursing.Results Before nursing,there was no statistically significant difference in the scores of maintaining close relationships with others,attitudes toward reality and the future,and taking positive actions between the two groups of patients(P>0.05).After nursing,patients in the observation group had higher scores in maintaining close relationships with others,attitudes toward reality and the future,and taking positive actions than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Before nursing,there was no statistical significance in the scores of optimism,self-improvement and other dimensions between the two groups of patients(P>0.05).After nursing,the each dimension scores of RS-11 scale in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the scores of the three coping styles of patients before nursing:confrontation,avoidance,and surrender between the two groups of patients(P>0.05).After nursing,the observation group's face coping score was higher than that of the control group,and their avoidance and surrender coping scores were lower than those of the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Before nursing,there was no statistical significance in the National Institutes of Health stroke scale(NIHSS)scores between the two groups of patients(P>0.05).After nursing,the NIHSS score in the observation group was lower than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Hope theory nursing combined with rational emotion regulation strategies can not only improve the hope level of patients with secondary epilepsy after cerebral infarction,improve the patients'psychological flexibility and coping style,but also effectively promote the recovery of patients'neurological functions.
