Effects of psychological nursing and Guizhifuling capsule on the mental state and postoperative pain relief in women undergoing induced abortion

This was a retrospective which explored the effects of psychological nursing in combination with Guizhifuling capsule on the mental state and postoperative pain of induced abortion patients. From January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023, 90 patients with induced abortion in Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Medical School of Nanjing University were included, and randomly divided into a control group (CG) and an experimental group (EG). The CG accepted routine nursing and Guizhifuling capsule. In contrast, the EG accepted routine nursing, psychological nursing, and Guizhifuling capsule. Patients' psychological condition, postoperative pain, quality of life, compliance along with nursing satisfaction in two groups was compared. After intervention, relative to the CG, the EG presented lower Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) scores, lower pain scores when patients were awake under anesthesia, 0.5 h after surgery and 1 h after surgery, higher SF-36 scores, as well as higher total compliance and nursing satisfaction rates. We conclude that psychological nursing combined with Guizhifuling capsule can relieve the mental state, reduce the postoperative pain, and enhance the quality of life of women undergoing induced abortion.
