[Abstract] Objective To explore the influence of perma positive psychological intervention on postoperative psychological status and post-traumatic growth in patients with artificial hip arthroplasty (HA). Methods 98 patients who received HA treatment in the hospital were selected from March 2020 to March 2023 as the research subjects, and were divided into reference group (n=49) and observation group (n=49) by the random number table method. The reference group received routine nursing intervention after HA, whereas the observation group applied perma positive psychological intervention on the basis of the reference group. The time of nursing intervention was 1 month. The scores of Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), and hip function were compared between groups before and after intervention. Results After intervention, the scores of dimensions of life perception, relationship with others and self-transformation and total score of PTGI in the observation group were higher than those in the reference group (P<0.05). Compared with the reference group after intervention, the SAS score and SDS score in the observation group were down-regulated while the CD-RISC score was increased, and the scores of hip function, pain, joint mobility and lower limb deformity were enhanced (P<0.05). Conclusion perma positive psychological intervention can effectively improve the postoperative psychological status of HA patients, and promote the post-traumatic growth and joint function recovery.
