[Abstract] Objective To explore the effect of health education program on nursing care in patients with depression and the effect of SF-36 score on patients. Methods A total of 152 patients with depression were enrolled in our hospital from January 2016 to March 2017. They were randomly divided into control group (n = 76) and study group (n = 76). The control group was treated with traditional health education. The patients were enrolled in the study group, and the scores of the two groups were compared with those before discharge. SF-36 score and clinical curative effect were compared between the two groups. Results The scores of HAMD were significantly lower than those of the two groups (P <0.05). The SF-36 scores of the two groups were higher than those of the two groups, and the study group (P <0.05). The total effective rate of the control group was lower than that of the study group (P <0.05), and the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05). Conclusion The application of health education program can significantly improve the depression, health status, curative effect and worthy of promotion.
