[Abstract] Objective To explore the intervention effect of mindfulness music combined with relaxation therapy on the bad mood of elderly patients with coronary heart disease. Methods Ninety-six elderly patients with coronary heart disease from June 2018 to June 2020 in our hospital were the subjects of this study, and all with anxiety or depression. They were randomly divided into control group and observation group by the number table method. Both groups received cardiology treatment and control group was treated with conventional psychological intervention, and the observation group was treated with mindfulness music combined with relaxation therapy. The self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS), Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) were compared before and after the intervention; and the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) before and after the intervention were measured, and the Seattle angina pectoris questionnaire (SAQ) was evaluated. Results The SAS score, SDS score, and PSQI of the two groups after the intervention were significantly lower than those before the intervention, and the observation group after the intervention were significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05). After the intervention, the LVEF and SAQ scores of the two groups were significantly increased compared with those before the intervention, and the observation group after the intervention was significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Mindfulness music combined with relaxation therapy can effectively relieve the bad mood and sleep quality of elderly patients with coronary heart disease, and help improve the prognosis of coronary heart disease.
