[Abstract] Objective To observe the effect of rational emotive behavior intervention on the change of sleep quality in elderly patients with coronary angina combined with sleep disorders. Methods 120 cases of coronary angina combined with sleep disorders treated in our hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were selected as the observation sample, and the 120 cases of coronary angina combined with sleep disorders were divided into 60 test cases and 60 control cases by random number table method. In the test group, the rational emotional behavior intervention mechanism was introduced, and the observation indexes of the two groups were compared after the intervention. The psychological resilience score and overall happiness score of patients with coronary angina combined with sleep disorders in the test group were higher than those in the control group, and the sleep quality score was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The introduction of rational emotional behavior intervention mechanism in elderly patients with coronary angina combined with sleep disorders is beneficial to improve their psychological resilience, general well-being and sleep quality.
