Abstract: Objective: To explore the impact of psychological intervention on the psychological, emotional, and postoperative quality of life of patients undergoing artificial knee replacement surgery. Method: Case data were collected and recorded from October 2019 to October 2022. A total of 110 patients with artificial knee replacement surgery admitted to the hospital were included. The participants were divided into a control group (receiving routine care) and an observation group (receiving routine care+psychological intervention) based on a standardized "random number table" method, with 55 patients included in each group; Observe and compare negative emotions, psychological resilience, quality of life, and patient satisfaction between the two groups. Result: After intervention, the HAMA and HAMD scores of both groups decreased, with the observation group having a lower score (P<0.05); After intervention, the CD-RISC scores of psychological resilience increased in both groups, with the observation group having a higher score (P<0.05); After intervention, the SF-36 scores of both groups significantly increased, with the observation group being relatively higher (P<0.05); The satisfaction of patients in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Psychological intervention used in patients undergoing artificial knee arthroplasty during the perioperative period can significantly improve their negative emotions such as anxiety and depression, enhance psychological resilience, increase patient satisfaction and cooperation with treatment, and comprehensively improve their quality of life.
