Objective To explore the effect of psychological nursing in patients undergoing esophageal cancer surgery. Methods This time, 54 patients with esophageal cancer undergoing surgery were selected for research and analysis. The case selection time was from February 2021 to February 2022. 54 patients were divided into two groups according to the random lot drawing mode. 27 patients receiving routine care were set as the reference group, and 27 patients receiving psychological care were set as the experimental group. The nursing effects of the two groups were compared. Results There was no significant difference in anxiety and depression scores between the two groups before nursing (P>0.05), but the scores in the experimental group were lower after nursing (P<0.05). The duration of bed rest and hospitalization in the experimental group was shorter (P<0.05). The satisfaction of the experimental group was 95.12%, and that of the reference group was 75.61%. The satisfaction of the experimental group was higher than that of the reference group (P<0.05). Conclusion Psychological nursing is effective for patients with esophageal cancer undergoing surgery, which can effectively relieve their negative emotions, shorten their bedtime and hospitalization, and then help to improve their satisfaction. It is suggested that this method be popularized in clinical practice.
