Objective To analyze the impact of narrative nursing on negative emotions and quality of life in patients with brain tumors. Methods 78 patients with brain tumors who received treatment in our hospital from July 2022 to July 2023 were selected as the observation subjects. Randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 36 cases in each group. The control group received routine care, while the observation group received narrative care on top of routine care. The anxiety self-assessment scale and depression self-assessment scale were used to evaluate the negative emotions of two groups of patients, and the quality of life scale was used to score the quality of life of the two groups of patients after intervention. Results After intervention, the SAS and SDS levels in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, clearly reflecting that the anxiety and depression of the observation group patients were effectively relieved. The QOL score of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group, and their quality of life was improved (P < 0.05). Conclusion Narrative nursing can effectively alleviate negative emotions in patients with brain tumors. Significantly improving their quality of life is a nursing model with clinical application value.
