ObjectiveTo explore the effects of nursing intervention based on mind map on anxiety, depression, and disease awareness of primary caregivers in children with Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP).
MethodsSixty-eight primary caregivers of children with HSP were randomly divided into the observation group and control group according to a computerized random number generator (34 cases each group).The control group was nursed with routine nursing care, and the observation group was nursed with mind map-based nursing intervention on the basis of the control group during the hospitalization of children.The negative emotion and disease awareness of primary caregivers in two groups on admission and discharge were assessed using self-rating depression scale (SDS), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and disease awareness questionnaire.
ResultsThere were no statistical significances in the scores of SAS and SDS, and disease awareness degree of primary caregivers between two groups on admission (P>0.05).The SAS and SDS scores of the primary caregivers in two groups at discharge were lower than those on admission, and the degree of disease awareness of the primary caregivers in two groups at discharge was higher than that on admission (P < 0.01).At discharge, the SAS and SDS scores of the primary caregivers in observation group were lower than those in control group, and the degree of disease awareness of the primary caregivers in observation group was higher than that in control group (P < 0.01).
ConclusionsThe nursing intervention based on mind map can reduce the negative emotion, and improve the disease awareness of primary caregivers of children with HSP, which is worthy of promotion in clinic.
