Abstract：Objective:To explore the effects of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)non-drug interventions on anxiety and depression in patients with coronary heart disease(CHD),and to evaluate and compare the effects.Methods:Relevant literature on TCM non-drug interventions for CHD patients was retrieved from domestic and international databases from database inception to January 15,2024.A network Meta-analysis was performed using Stata 15.0 and Review Manager 5.3 software.Results:A total of 27 studies were included,involving eight non-pharmacological TCM interventions(acupressure,emotional care,auricular acupressure,acupressure exercises,Baduanjin,copper bian-store scraping,Taiji,and acupoint application)and 2 224 CHD patients.Network Meta-analysis showed that compared with routine care,copper bian-store scraping and emotional care had better effects on improving anxiety and depression in CHD patients(P<0.05).The area under the cumulative ordinal probability plot indicated that copper scraping was the better non-pharmacological TCM intervention for improving anxiety and depression in CHD patients.Conclusions:Copper-based scraping therapy is more effective in improving anxiety and depression in CHD patients,which is recommended as the priority in clinical nursing care.However,further validation through numerous high-quality randomized controlled trials is needed.
