Core Tip

Core Tip: Surgery can extend the life of patients with heart diseases (such as congenital and coronary heart diseases) and improve their quality of life. However, it can trigger emotional, cognitive, and physiological responses in patients, leading to fear and anxiety regarding mortality and even depression. Through nursing interventions, we can strengthen patients' cognitive abilities, compliance, and postoperative recovery, thereby reducing complications, shortening hospital stays, and providing importance for patients' overall health and well-being.
