The Effects Of Cognitive-Behavioral Intervention On The Mental State, Quality Of Life, And Care Burden On The Caregivers Of Patients With Craniocerebral Injuries

Objective: To analyze the effects of cognitive-behavioral intervention on the mental state, quality of life (QOL), and care burden on the caregivers of craniocerebral injury patients. Methods: A total of 210 caregivers of patients with craniocerebral injuries diagnosed with mild to moderate anxiety or depression were selected and divided into a study group (cognitive-behavioral intervention, 105 cases) and a control group (routine nursing intervention, 105 cases). The self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) score, the self-rating depression scale (SDS) score, the QOL score, the care burden, and the nursing satisfaction were compared. Results: After intervention, the SAS scores, the SDS scores, and the care burden in the study group were significantly lower than they were in the control group (all P<0.05), while the QOL score and the nursing satisfaction in the study group were significantly higher than they were in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Cognitive-behavioral intervention can significantly relieve anxiety and depression, reduce the care burden, and improve the QOL of primary caregivers of patients with craniocerebral injuries. This finding is worth drawing lessons from.
