The significance of psychological care

As the treatment and outcome of psychosomatic diseases are more closely related to psychosocial factors, the patient's emotional state and psychological changes directly affect the treatment effect and the degree of rehabilitation of the disease. Therefore, psychological care for psychosomatic diseases is particularly important. The main purposes are:

1. Relieve the tension, anxiety, pessimism, depression and other emotions of the patient, and increase the confidence to overcome the disease.

2. Correct and timely health education enables patients to adapt to their new roles and hospitalization environment as early as possible.

3 Help patients to establish new interpersonal relationships, especially doctor-patient relationships, to adapt to the new social environment.

After a person becomes ill, his social role changes. Suddenly acting as a patient, as well as changes in living environment and interpersonal relationships, it is often difficult for patients to adapt at once, and some psychological problems will occur. This requires psychological care to help patients create the best psychological state for treatment and rehabilitation. Psychological nursing is not only conducive to the rehabilitation of patients, but also runs through the overall nursing of patients to improve the effect of nursing. It is also beneficial to improve the clinical treatment effect and make the patient recover soon.
