[Abstract] Objective To explore the effect of meditation training combined with gratitude education on psychological nursing of patients with maintenance hemodialysis. Methods Sixty patients with maintenance hemodialysis from May 2017 to December 2019 in our hospital were selected. They were divided into two groups using the digital table method. The control group was given routine care, and the observation group received meditation training and thanksgiving education based on routine care. The anxiety, depression, sleep quality and mental elasticity level between the two groups of patients before and after nursing were compared. Results After nursing, the SDS and SAS scores of the two groups were significantly reduced, and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group, (P<0.05). After nursing, the PSQI index of the two groups decreased, and the mental elasticity score was significantly improved, and the observation group was better than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Meditation training combined with gratitude education for psychological care of maintenance hemodialysis patients can significantly improve their anxiety and depression, improve sleep quality and mental elasticity level.
