Effects of Stress Psychological Intervention on the Cardiopulmonary Function, Negative Emotion, Self-Efficacy, and Quality of Life in Patients with Acute Respiratory Failure

Objective. To investigate the changes in cardiopulmonary function, negative emotion, self-efficacy, and quality of life in patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) after stress psychological intervention. Methods. A prospective study was conducted on 104 patients with ARF admitted to our hospital from March 2019 to March 2021. According to the random number method, the patients were divided into a control group (n = 52) and an experimental group (n = 52). Routine intervention was implemented in the control group, and stress psychological intervention was implemented in the experimental group on the basis of the control group. The cardiopulmonary function, negative emotion, self-efficacy, and quality of life in the two groups were compared. Results. The left ventricular ejection fractions and fraction shortening in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group, as well as the left ventricular mass index was lower than that in the control group ( P < 0.05 ). The first forced expiratory volume (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and FEV1/FVC in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group ( P < 0.05 ). The Self-Rating Anxiety Scale scores and Self-Rating Depression Scale scores in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group ( P < 0.05 ). The General Self-Efficacy Scale scores of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group ( P < 0.05 ). The Concise Health Measurement Scale scores of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion. Stress psychological intervention in patients with ARF can improve cardiopulmonary function, reduce negative emotions, improve self-efficacy, and improve quality of life.
