This work explored the effects of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT)-based comprehensive nursing intervention (CNI) mode in arch expansion to treat patients with orthodontic osteodilated arch (OOA).
To explore the application effect of CBT-based CNI model in orthodontic expan
Using convenient sampling method, 81 patients with OOA were selected and rolled into a control group (Ctrl group, 40 cases) and an observation group (Obs group, 41 cases). During the treatment, patients in the Ctrl group received routine nursing intervention mode, and the those in the Obs group received CBT mode on the basis of this. Before and after intervention, the incidence of oral mucositis, the mastery rate of correct arch expansion method, self-rating anxiety scale score, soft scale index, and plaque index were compared for patients in different groups. In addition, satisfaction and complications were comparatively analyzed.
Incidence of oral mucositis in the Obs group was lower (14.6% vs 38.5%), and the mastery rate of correct arch expansion method was obviously higher (90.2% vs 55.0%) was obviously higher (all P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the soft scale index and plaque index in the Obs group were much lower (P < 0.05). The compliance (90.24%) and satisfaction (95.12%) in the Obs group were greatly higher (P < 0.05).
The CBT-based CNI mode greatly improved the mastery rate of correct arch expansion method during arch expansion in treating patients with OOA and enhanced the therapeutic effect of arch expansion and the oral health of patients, improving the patient compliance.
Core Tip: This article investigated the effectiveness of a comprehensive nursing intervention model based on cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) in the treatment of patients with orthodontic osteodilated arch, which significantly reduced the occurrence of oral mucosal inflammation, improved mastery of appropriate expansion techniques, and improved treatment outcomes compared with the traditional care model. Patient compliance and satisfaction were high, highlighting the potential of CBT-based interventions in orthodontic care.
