Abstract：Objective To evaluate the effects of early rehabilitation nursing combined with psychological intervention on postoperative hand function recovery and emotional state in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome.Methods Seventy-eight patients who underwent carpal tunnel syndrome surgery at Binzhou Medical University Hospital from July 2022 to March 2024 were selected and randomly assigned to a control group and an observation group by random number table method.Patients in the control group received early postoperative regular rehabilitation training,while patients in the observation group received additional psychological intervention.Visual analog scale(VAS),self-rating anxiety scale(SAS),self-rating depression scale(SDS),Boston carpal tunnel questionnaire(BCTQ)scores at 1 d and 1 month postoperatively as well as nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results At 1 months postoperatively,both groups showed significant improvements in VAS,SAS,SDS and BCTQ scores when compared with those at 1 d postoperatively(P<0.05),and the indicators in the observation group were better than those in the control group at 1 month after the surgery(P<0.05).Nursing satisfaction in the observation group was also higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion For patients with carpal tunnel syndrome,psychological intervention based on early rehabilitation nursing could promote postoperative recovery of hand function,reduce the impaction of negative emotions,relieve pain and enhance nursing satisfaction more effectively.
