Objective This study's goal is to evaluate how psychological counseling and comfort nursing improve the treatment of ER patients. Between July 2019 and December 2020, 66 emergency medical patients were admitted to our hospital, and were divided into two groups: a study group (psychological intervention combined with comfort nursing, n=33 cases) and a control group (conventional nursing, n by means of a random number table) = 33 cases. Results Before breastfeeding, the two groups' self-rating depression scale (SDS) and self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) scores were compared.) After nursing, patients in the study group had a lower SDS and SAS score than those in the control group, which was statistically significant (P0.05). Combining psychological intervention with comfort nursing may help patients improve their mood while increasing nursing satisfaction and nursing effect.
