[Abstract] Objective To investigate the effects of neurolinguistic programming techniques on negative emotions and sleep quality in patients with traumatic fractures. Methods A total of 80 patients with traumatic fractures in our hospital from January 2020 to January 2022 were selected as the research objects, and they were divided into two groups according to the random number table method. Both groups were given routine nursing care, the control group was given general psychological intervention, and the observation group was given psychological intervention with neuro-linguistic programming technology. The self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS), Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and insomnia severity index (ISI) were compared between the two groups before and after the intervention. Results After the intervention, the SAS and SDS scores of the two groups were significantly decreased, and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group after the intervention (P<0.05). After the intervention, the PSQI and ISI scores of the two groups were significantly decreased, and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group after the intervention (P<0.05). Conclusion Neurolinguistic programming technology can reduce anxiety, depression, and improve sleep quality in patients with traumatic fractures.
