Objective To investigate the impact of humanistic care-oriented nursing intervention on negative emotions and healthcare experience in critically ill patients in the emergency department. Methods A total of 80 critically ill inpatients from the emergency department of our hospital in 2024 were selected for the study. Patients were randomly assigned using a random number table, with 40 cases in each group. The control group received standard emergency nursing procedures, while the observation group received routine nursing combined with humanistic care intervention. The levels of negative emotions and healthcare satisfaction were compared before and after the intervention. Results After the intervention, the SAS and SDS scores in both groups were significantly reduced compared to pre-intervention levels (P<0.05), with the observation group showing significantly lower scores than the control group (P<0.05). The healthcare experience satisfaction rate in the observation group was 95.00%, significantly higher than the 77.50% in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Humanistic care-oriented nursing intervention can effectively alleviate negative emotions such as anxiety and depression in critically ill patients in the emergency department, significantly improving healthcare satisfaction. This approach is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
