[Abstract] Objective To explore the effects of rehabilitation therapy based on mental-guided education on cognitive function and mood in children with perennial allergic rhinitis. Methods 220 children with perennial allergic rhinitis admitted to our hospital from April 2020 to April 2023 were continuously included as study objects. Control group 90 cases received routine rehabilitation treatment;The 130 cases in the intervention group were given rehabilitation therapy based on spiritual guidance education on the basis of the control group. Symptom Checklist (SCL-90), Self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), and Self-rating depress scale were adopted. SDS was used to evaluate the adverse mood of children with perennial allergic rhinitis, and MoCA was used to evaluate the cognitive function of children with perennial allergic rhinitis.Results Before intervention, there was no significant difference in SCL-90, SAS, SDS and MoCA scores between the intervention group and the control group (t=0.074, P>0.05). After intervention, the scores of SCL-90, SAS and SDS in the intervention group/control group were significantly lower than before intervention, and the scores of MoCA were significantly higher than before intervention, with statistical significance (P<0.05). The scores of SCL-90, SAS and SDS in the intervention group were significantly lower than those in the control group, and the scores of MoCA were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Rehabilitation therapy based on guided education can effectively improve the cognitive function and emotional status of children with perennial allergic rhinitis, which is worthy of further clinical promotion.
