The control group received routine nursing, the observation group was combined with psychological intervention. The incidence of postoperative complications, postoperative pain, negative emotions and quality of life scores before and after nursing were compared between the two groups. Results The incidence of postoperative complications in observation group was 2.00% lower than that in control group (P<0.05). In postoperative pain, the VAS scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group (P<0.05) : (3.62±1.08) points 1 day after surgery, (2.72±0.70) points 2 days after surgery and (1.79±0.65) points 3 days after surgery. In the negative emotion, the SAS score (42.34±4.98) and SDS score (43.05±4.20) of the observation group were lower than those of the control group (P<0.05).
