Abstract：Objective:To explore and investigate the comprehensive nursing intervention method and effect of applying percutaneous ver-tebroplasty in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. Methods:56 patients undergoing percutaneous vertebroplasty were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group(28 cases in each group). The routine nursing measures were taken in the control group and the comprehensive nursing intervention measures were implemented in the observation group,the anxiety and de-pression of the patients was compared by using SAS and SDS scale between the two groups and the severity of pain of the patients was as-sessed in the two groups. Results:The anxiety occurred in 3 cases in the observation group after nursing care and significantly fewer than 28 cases before nursing care and also fewer than 26 cases in the control group after nursing care(P < 0. 05);the SAS scores were 21. 52 ± 1. 81 points after nursing care and significantly lower than 46. 98 ± 2. 31 points before nursing care in the observation group and lower than 46. 61 ± 2. 17 points in the control group after nursing care(P < 0. 05);the depression happened in 3 cases in the observation group after nursing care and significantly fewer than 28 cases before nursing care and lower than 25 cases in the control group(P < 0. 05);the SDS scores were 44. 52 ± 1. 81 points after nursing care and lower than 51. 77 ± 2. 48 points before nursing care in the observation group and lower than 49. 56 ± 2. 08 points in the control group after nursing care(P < 0. 05);the incidence of pain of the patients was 17. 9% in ob-servation group after nursing care and significantly decreased compared with 35. 7% in the control group(P < 0. 05). Conclusion:The comprehensive nursing intervention can significantly alleviate the anxiety and depression and reduce the perioperative pain of the patients.
