Objective The effect of nursing based on self-regulation theory on negative emotions and self-care ability of patients with eczema. Methods Seventy-eight patients with eczema admitted between February 2024 and September 2025 were selected as research subjects and randomly divided into two groups. The 39 patients in Group T received nursing interventions based on the self-regulation theory, while the other 39 patients in Group P were given routine nursing care. This study compared the negative emotions, self-care ability and quality of life between Group T and Group R. Results Before nursing, the SAS score, SDS score and SF-36 score of T group were similar to those of R group (P>0.05). After nursing, the negative emotion of T group was less than that of R group, and the self-care ability and quality of life of T group were higher than those of R group (P<0.05). Conclusion Nursing based on self-regulation theory exerts a more prominent effect on alleviating negative emotions and improving self-care abilities of eczema patients, and is worthy of promotion.
