Influence of empathic nursing on anxiety,depression and hope level in patients with myocardial infarc-tion:a meta-analysis / 心血管康复医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To systematically evaluate the influence of empathic nursing on anxiety,depression and hope level in patients with myocardial infarction.Methods:Randomized controlled trials involving the influence of em-pathic nursing on anxiety,depression and hope level in patients with myocardial infarction were searched in CNKI,VIP,Wanfang,CBM,PubMed,Cochrane Library and EMbase databases.After independent screening,data ex-traction and quality evaluation of the literatures by two researchers with evidence-based nursing experience,Rev-Man 5.3 software was used for meta-analysis.Results:A total of 11 randomized controlled trials were enrolled.Meta analysis indicated that after intervention,scores of self-rating anxiety scale(WMD=-7.67,95%CI(-11.31,-4.02),P＜0.001)and self-rating depression scale(WMD=-9.31,95%CI(-11.09,-7.53),P＜0.001)in empathic nursing group were significantly lower than those of control group,while Herth hope scale score(WMD=6.66,95%CI(4.83,8.50),P＜0.001)was significantly higher than that of control group.Conclusion:Current evidence indicate that empathic nursing can reduce anxiety and depression state,and improve the hope level in patients with myocardial infarction,but more high-quality studies are still needed to verify the results.
