Abstract：Objective:To explore the occurrence of anxiety and depression in the different treatment stages of hospitalized adult patients with head and hands injury induced by electric arc burn through questionnaire.Methods:Twenty patients with head and hands injury induced by electric arc burn were investigated with self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) on the three stages of treatment after injury,including admission to hospital (within 24 hours after injury),before operation (the fifth day after injury) and recovery period (2 weeks to 1 month after injury),and the occurrence of anxiety and depression status was counted and analyzed.Results:All the 20 patients represented the possibility of anxiety or depression during the three treatment stages.The obvious anxious and depressive manifestations existed at the stage of admission to hospital (within 24 hours after injury),the SAS and SDS scores were 37.60±7.06 and 36.90±8.48,respectively,significantly higher than that before operation (33.45±6.15 and 34.70±8.24,respectively) and recovery period (28.75±5.63 and 29.30±5.69,respectively),with significant differences (P＜0.05).Conclusions:The anxious and depressive manifestations at the stage of admission to hospital (within 24 hours after injury) are more serious than other treatment stages.It is necessary to make a series of psychological nursing intervention for electric arc burn adult patients with head and hands injury when they admit to the hospital.
