According to the method of computer random grouping, a control study was carried out. One group was named as the conventional group (without standard psychological intervention); the other group was named as the study group (with standard psychological intervention). 49 cases in each group. Results: the total incidence of complications in the study group was lower than that in the routine group, and the compliance rate was higher than that in the routine group (P < 0.05); the total score of self-care ability in the study group was significantly higher than that in the routine group (P < 0.05); the SAS anxiety score and SDS depression score in the study group were significantly lower than that in the routine group (P < 0.05).
