Objective: To evaluate the effect of emotional ABC theory on anxiety and depression in young patients with breast cancer.
Methods: A total of 200 eligible young patients with breast cancer were randomly divided into control group (N = 100) and experimental group (N = 100). The control group received routine treatment, while the experimental group received emotional ABC theory intervention at the same time.
Results: The Self Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self Rating Depression Scale (SDS) scores of the two groups were observed before and after nursing. There was no significant difference between the two groups before nursing (P > 0.05), but there was significant difference between the two groups after nursing, the control group was significantly higher than the experimental group (P < 0.05). The satisfaction degree of the control group was significantly lower than that of the experimental group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Young patients with breast cancer using emotional ABC theory can effectively improve negative emotions, clinical can promote the nursing program.
