Abstract：Objective We intended to investigate the anxiety condition of aircrew members with prolapse of lumber intervertebral disc and survey the practical value of the application of the psychological intervention to the clinical management. Methods 60 aircrew members were randomly divided into two groups which were managed with Feng’s manipulation. The pilots in the intervention group were managed with the psychological intervention before manipulation, while those in the control group were managed without the psychological intervention. All of them were assessed by Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS). Results There were no statistical differences in each index consisting of SAS score, blood pressure, and heart rate on both groups after the admission (P>0.05). After the psychological intervention, the SAS score (27.9±5.3) and hospitalized duration (17.1±4.1) days of the pilots were lower than those of the control group[ (38.0±5.0) score,(23.9±6.2) days] (P<0.01), systolic pressure (116.1±5.7) mmHg and heart rate (82.8±7.6)/min of intervention group were lower than those of the control group [(120.6±5.1)mmHg,(98.3±6.7) /min](P<0.01), and diastolic pressure had no significant difference in both groups (P>0.05). Conclusion The psychological intervention can improve the anxiety of the aircrew with prolapse of lumber intervertebral disc before manipulation.
