The effect of comprehensive nursing intervention on improving negative emotion of HIV-positive pregnant women

Objective To explore the effect of comprehensive nursing intervention on improving negative emotion and quality of life of HIV-positive pregnant women. Methods A total of 162 HIV-positive pregnant women admitted to the hospital from January 2015 to March 2017 were selected and were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group, 81 cases of each group. The pregnant women in both groups were given maternal and infant block therapy at 14 weeks of gestation.The control group received conventional obstetrics and gynecology care at the same time of treatment, and the observation group received comprehensive nursing intervention until 36 weeks of gestation.The emotional changes of pregnant women before and after intervention were compared using the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD). Quality of life scale (SF-36) was used to evaluate the postpartum quality of life of two groups of pregnant women. Results The comparison of HAMA and HAMD scores between the two groups before intervention showed no statistical significance (P> 0.05). After intervention, the HAMA and HAMD scores of pregnant women in both groups were significantly decreased, and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05). Postpartum life quality, mental health, emotional role, somatic function, somatic role, body pain, social function, vitality and overall health of the pregnant women in the observation group were all significantly higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions Comprehensive nursing intervention for HIV-positive pregnant women can effectively improve their anxiety and depression and improve their quality of life.
