Exploring the Impact of Narrative Nursing on Anxiety, Depression, and Quality of Life in Middle-aged and Young Dialysis Patients

Objective: To explore the impact of narrative nursing on anxiety, depression, and quality of life in middle-aged and young dialysis patients. Method: Eighty-six middle-aged and young dialysis patients admitted from January 2023 to December 2023 were selected and divided into a control group and a study group, with 43 patients in each group. The control group received general nursing interventions, while the study group received narrative nursing in addition to the general interventions. The levels of anxiety and depression before and after the intervention were compared, and the quality-of-life scores of the two groups were analyzed. Results: After comprehensive intervention, the scores of both groups significantly decreased (P < 0.05). After intervention, the scores of the study group were more significant compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the quality-of-life score of the study group showed a significant upward trend, and this difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Comprehensive narrative nursing can effectively reduce anxiety in middle-aged and young dialysis patients, further enhance their quality of life, and is worth promoting in clinical practice.
