[Abstract] Objective To study the nursing effect of nostalgic intervention on elderly patients with diabetes combined depression. Methods A total of 128 elderly patients with DM combined depression from April 2017 to April 2020 were selected as the study subjects. According to the random number table method, they were divided into the control group and the study group of 64 cases each. The control group was given hypoglycemic and antidepressant treatment, and the study group was given nostalgic intervention based on the control group. The Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) were compared. Results The HAMA and HAMD of the control group after treatment were significantly higher than that of the study group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Nostalgic intervention can significantly reduce anxiety and depression in elderly patients with DM combined depression, and assist clinical treatment.
