Abstract:Objective To explore the effect of Baker cognitive therapy with acute pancreatitis. Methods A total of 150 patients with acute pancreatitis from Taizhou People’s Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from January 2019 to December 2021 were included and divided into control group and observation group according to random number table method, with 75 patients in each group. The control group received routine nursing, and the observation group received Baker cognitive therapy in addition to the nursing measures of the control group. Both groups were intervened for a week. The scores of self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS), simple quality of life scale-36, Newcastle nursing satisfaction scale (NSNS), and incidence of delirium were compared between the two groups before intervention and a week after intervention. Results After intervention, SAS and SDS scores of the two groups were lower than before intervention, while those of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The physical, physiological, cognitive, and social scores of the two groups were higher than before intervention, while those of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The NSNS score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, while the delirium rate of the observation group was lower than that of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Baker cognitive therapy has a positive effect on the care of acute pancreatitis, improving anxiety, depression, satisfaction rate and quality of life.
