Empathetic psychological care improves mood and enhances the quality of life in critically ill patients.
To study the impact of combining 222-nm ultraviolet (UV) disinfection with empathetic psychological care on emotional states, nosocomial infection rates, and quality of life in critically ill patients.
A total of 202 critically ill patients admitted to Beijing Ditan Hospital (December 2023 to May 2024) were randomly assigned to control (Ctrl, = 101) or observation groups (Obs, = 101). The Ctrl group received 222-nm UV disinfection and routine care, while the Obs group received 222-nm UV disinfection with empathetic psychological care. Emotional states [Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS)], hospital infection rates, quality of life (36-Item Short Form Health Survey), and patient satisfaction were evaluated.
At baseline, there were no significant differences in SAS and SDS scores between the groups ( > 0.05). Following care, both groups demonstrated reductions in SAS and SDS scores, with the Obs group exhibiting a significantly greater reduction ( < 0.05). The Obs group also experienced a significantly lower overall hospital infection rate ( < 0.05). Similarly, while baseline 36-Item Short Form Health Survey scores did not differ significantly between the groups ( > 0.05), post-care scores improved in both groups, with a greater improvement observed in the Obs group ( < 0.05). Additionally, the Obs group reported higher patient satisfaction ratings ( < 0.05).
The combination of 222-nm UV disinfection and empathetic psychological care improves emotional states, reduces hospital infection rates, enhances the quality of life, and increases patient satisfaction among critically ill patients.
共情心理护理可改善重症患者的情绪并提高其生活质量。
研究222纳米紫外线（UV）消毒与共情心理护理相结合对重症患者情绪状态、医院感染率及生活质量的影响。
选取2023年12月至2024年5月在北京地坛医院收治的202例重症患者，随机分为对照组（Ctrl，n = 101）和观察组（Obs，n = 101）。对照组接受222纳米紫外线消毒及常规护理，观察组接受222纳米紫外线消毒并给予共情心理护理。评估情绪状态[自评焦虑量表（SAS）、自评抑郁量表（SDS）]、医院感染率、生活质量（36项简短健康调查）及患者满意度。
基线时，两组间SAS和SDS评分无显著差异（P > 0.05）。护理后，两组SAS和SDS评分均降低，观察组降低更显著（P < 0.05）。观察组总体医院感染率也显著更低（P < 0.05）。同样，虽然两组间基线36项简短健康调查评分无显著差异（P > 0.05），但护理后两组评分均改善，观察组改善更明显（P < 0.05）。此外，观察组患者满意度更高（P < 0.05）。
222纳米紫外线消毒与共情心理护理相结合可改善重症患者的情绪状态，降低医院感染率，提高生活质量，并增加患者满意度。
