Study on the Effect of Self-Help Mindfulness Therapy on Rumination in Patients with Depression

Objective: To evaluate the nursing effect of self-help mindfulness therapy for patients with depression. Methods: 120 cases of depression patients admitted to the Department of Psychosomatic Disorders of our hospital between January 2020 and January 2023 were selected. After being grouped by the random draw method, 60 cases in the observation group adopted self-help mindfulness therapy and 60 cases in the control group adopted conventional nursing care, the nursing effects were subsequently compared. Results: Before nursing, there was no difference in the comparison of clinical symptom scores, rumination scores, positive psychological scores, and self-esteem scores between the two groups (P > 0.05). After nursing, the clinical symptom scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group; the rumination scores were lower than those of the control group; the positive psychological scores were higher than those of the control group; and the self-esteem scores were higher than those of the control group, and all of them were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Self-help mindfulness therapy can improve the clinical symptoms of patients with depression and their rumination, and enhance their positive psychological state and self-esteem level, which has high nursing advantages.
