Effects of Problem-Solving Intervention Model Combined with Nano-Silver Gel on Disease Burden and Emotion with Thyroid Microwave Ablation

Abstract

This study explored the effects of problem-solving intervention model on self-perceived burden and emotion of patients with thyroid microwave ablation. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 166 patients who underwent this procedure in our hospital from October 2019 to October 2022. Out of these patients, 81 received the problem-solving intervention model and were assigned to the intervention group. Furthermore, after the surgery, nano-silver gel was applied to treat the patients’ wounds in the intervention group. The remaining 85 patients received routine nursing intervention and were designated as the control group. The disease burden, emotional state and nutritional rehabilitation in both groups were compared. The intervention group had overtly lower FBS, S-AI and T-AI scores at T1 and T2 stages compared to the control group (P < 0.05). However, no significant differences in FBS, S-AI, and T-AI scores were observed between the two groups at the T0 stage (P > 0.05). Additionally, there was a statistically significant disparity in SGA classification at the T1 stage (P < 0.05), but no significant differences were found in SGA classification at the T0 and T2 stages (P > 0.05). These findings suggest that the problem-solving intervention model is conducive to reducing the disease burden, alleviating the negative emotions, and promoting the postoperative rehabilitation of patients with thyroid microwave ablation.
