Abstract：Objective To observe the influence of continuous nursing intervention of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) on negative mood in patients with permanent pacemaker implantation.Methods The patients (n=80, male 42 and female 38) were chosen from the Affiliated Hospital of Shaanxi University of Chinese Medicine from Mar. 2012 to Jun. 2015, and then divided randomly into control group and observation group (eachn=40). The control group was given routine nursing after the operation, and observation group was additionally given continuous TCM nursing intervention. The difference in scores of negative mood and anxiety-depression was observed, and difference in quality of life (QOL) was compared between 2 groups before and after the nursing intervention.Results The total score of anxiety-depression and dimension of tension-anxiety decreased, and scores of energy-vitality increased in 2 groups after the nursing intervention, and the changes of above indexes were more significant in observation group (allP<0.05). The scores of self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depressive scale (SDS) decreased in 2 group after the nursing intervention, and were lower in observation group than those in control group (allP<0.05). After the nursing intervention, QOL increased in 2 groups, which was more significant in observation group (allP<0.05).Conclusion The continuous TCM nursing intervention can significantly improve negative mood and raise QOL in patients with permanent pacemaker implantation.
