Effect of exercise-nutrition-psychology oriented nursing in patients undergoing interventional embolization for intracranial aneurysm

Aim: To investigate the effect of exercise-nutrition-psychology oriented nursing in patients underwent interventional embolization for intracranial aneurysm. Methods: In this retrospective study, 60 patients diagnosed with intracranial aneurysm who underwent interventional embolization between January 2021 and June 2023 at Yichun People's Hospital were included. Among them, 28 patients received routine nursing intervention (control group), and the other 32 patients received exercise-nutrition-psychology oriented nursing (observational group). Quality of life, psychological state, self-management capacity, postoperative complications, patient satisfaction and medication compliance were compared between the two groups. Results: The self-management ability scores in the observation group were higher than those of the control group after the intervention (P<0.05). The overall satisfaction rate in the observation group was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). The SF-36 scores of patients (psychological function, physiological function, physical symptoms, and social function) in the observation group improved more significantly compared with those of the control group (P<0.05). Moreover, the total occurrence rate of postoperative complication in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (3.1% VS. 10.7%, P<0.05). The results of multivariate regression analysis showed that exercise-nutrition-psychology oriented nursing and postoperative complication were independent factors affecting the prognosis of patients who underwent can improve patients' self-management ability and quality of life, reduce the risk of complications, and promote the recovery of the condition.
