ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background
Liver abscess is a common clinical liver disease mainly caused by suppurative bacteria or amoebae, with early clinical signs of chills, high fever, jaundice, and other symptoms.
Research motivation
Establishing its early diagnosis is difficult, which may lead to misdiagnosis.
Research objectives
This study aimed to observe the effects of psychological guidance combined with evidence-based health intervention in patients with liver abscess treated with ultrasound.
Research methods
A total of 120 patients with bacterial liver abscess admitted to our hospital were selected and divided into groups according to their intervention plan.
Research results
After the intervention, Self-Rating Depression Scale, Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, Self-Perceived Burden Scale, and quality of life scores (physical functioning, role physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role emotional, mental health) were lower than before the intervention in the two groups.
Research conclusions
Three-dimensional psychological guidance combined with evidence-based health intervention ultrasound in the treatment of liver abscess can reduce patients’ burden.
Research perspectives
The long-term effects of the program need to be evaluated in the future, and the promotion and application of the program in other diseases needs to be further demonstrated and analyzed.
