Objective: To investigate the efficacy of comprehensive care during the nursing process of parturients with gestational hypertension and postpartum depression.
Methods: This prospective study recruited 70 patients with gestational hypertension concurrent with postpartum depression, and the patients were randomly divided into a control group (35 patients received routine care) and an observation group (35 patients, treated by comprehensive care). Indicators including psychological condition, life quality, thyroid function, the incidence of eclampsia, and nursing satisfaction were recorded and compared before intervention (at the diagnosis of postpartum depression) and after intervention (three months after delivery) in the two groups.
Results: The Hamilton Anxiety (HAMA) Scale and Hamilton Depression (HAMD) Scale scores were decreased in both groups after care intervention. Scores of Quality of Life Comprehensive Assessment Questionnaire (GQOLI-74) in all dimensions were higher after intervention than those of before intervention, and improvement was greater in the observation group (P<0.05). The levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone, free triiodothyronine and free thyroxine after the intervention were higher than those before the intervention in the two groups, and the increase in the observation group was greater significant than that in the control group (P<0.05). The incidence of postpartum eclampsia in the observation group was lower than that of the control group, and the nursing satisfaction of patients in the observation group was higher than that of the control group (both P<0.05).
Conclusion: Comprehensive care effectively relieved the abnormal psychological condition, promoted thyroid function, reduced the risk of postpartum eclampsia and improved the quality of life in patients with gestational hypertension and postpartum depression.
