Effects of cognitive behavioral intervention on anxiety and depression in patients with functional fecal incontinence
Objective To explore the effect of cognitive behavioral intervention instead of conventional nursing on anxiety and depression in patients with functional fecal incontinence.Methods A total of 40 pa-tients with functional fecal incontinence in the hospital from June 2021 to June 2022 were divided into the con-trol group and the observation group according to the random number method,with 20 cases in each group.Both groups were given routine treatment(pelvic floor muscle training]-trigger electrical stimulation train-ing),while the patients in the control group were given routine nursing,while the patients in the observation group were given cognitive behavioral intervention,and the observation was carried out for four weeks.The clinical efficacy,Wexner Cleveland anal incontinence scale,self-rating anxiety scale and self-rating depression scale were compared between the two groups before and after intervention.Results The total effective rate of the observation group[90.0%(18/20)]was higher than that of the control group[75.0%(15/20)],with sta-tistical significance(x2=3.491,P<0.05).After the intervention,the scores of Wexner Cleveland anal inconti-nence scale,self-rating anxiety scale and self-rating depression scale in the observation group and the control group were all lower than those before the intervention,and the observation group was lower than the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Through cognitive behavior intervention,the anx-iety and depression of patients with fecal incontinence can be significantly alleviated,thus enhancing the thera-peutic effect and having a positive impact on the recovery of patients.
