Abstract
BACKGROUND
Cox health behavior interventions combined with psychological care have the potential to improve recovery outcomes and psychological well-being in patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage accompanied by mental disorders.
AIM
To explore the impact of combining the Cox Health Behavior Interaction Model with multifaceted psychological nursing in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) complicated by mental disorders and to provide a reference for the nursing intervention in patients with hypertensive ICH.
METHODS
Overall, 128 patients with hypertensive ICH complicated by mental disorders who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University between January 2022 and December 2024 were divided into groups using a random number table. The control group (n = 64) received multifaceted psychological nursing, and the observation group (n = 64) received the Cox Health Behavior Interaction Model intervention based on multifaceted psychological nursing. The mental state, psychological resilience, self-efficacy, and quality of life of the two groups were compared.
RESULTS
Post-intervention, the mental states of anxiety and depression in the observation group (38.82 ± 3.67 points and 35.14 ± 2.75 points, respectively) were lower than those in the control group (46.96 ± 5.12 points and 41.36 ± 3.71 points, respectively), and the psychological resilience levels (tenacity, self-improvement, and optimism) were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Post-intervention, the General Self-Efficacy Scale score in the observation group (31.75 ± 2.75 points) was higher than that in the control group (26.76 ± 2.93 points), and the physical health- and social and mental health-related quality of life were both higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
Combining the Cox Health Behavior Interaction Model with multifaceted psychological nursing for patients with hypertensive ICH and mental disorders relieves anxiety and depression and improves resilience, self-efficacy, and quality of life.
Core Tip: Reasonable and timely intervention is crucial for patients suffering from hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage, as it can significantly improve prognosis and reduce the risk of complications. This is especially important for individuals who also suffer from coexisting mental disorders, as their condition may complicate clinical management, delay recovery, and impact treatment adherence. A comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach is therefore essential to address both neurological and psychiatric aspects effectively.
