The Role of Psychological Intervention in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the effect of psychological intervention on patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Methods: The subjects included in this study were 78 patients with rheumatoid arthritis who visited our department from February 2021 to February 2022. Random number table method was used for grouping. Intervention group A received psychological intervention on the basis of routine intervention (n=39), intervention group B received routine nursing (n=39). Intervention effect, anxiety and depression scores, compliance and quality of life were used to evaluate the intervention effect of the two groups. Results: The comparison of intervention effects between intervention groups A and B showed that intervention group A was significantly higher (P<0.05). The scores of anxiety and depression in intervention group A and B were not significantly different before intervention (P>0.05), but significantly lower in intervention group A after intervention (P<0.05). Comparison of compliance between intervention groups A and B showed that intervention group A was significantly higher (P<0.05). The quality of life in intervention group A and B was significantly higher than that in intervention group A (P<0.05). Conclusion: The effect of psychological intervention on patients with rheumatoid arthritis is more prominent, which can eliminate the negative emotions of patients and improve their treatment compliance and quality of life. This method is worth popularizing in clinical practice.
