Objective — To explore the effect of psychological nursing in crisis intervention. Methods — A total of 68 psychiatric patients admitted to the psychiatric department of our hospital from June 2019 to June 2020 were selected and divided into two groups with 34 patients in each group. The control group was given conventional crisis intervention, while the observation group was given psychological nursing. The Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) was used to evaluate the severity of psychiatric symptoms before and after nursing in the two groups. Results — before nursing, there was no significant difference in the total score of BPRS scale between the two groups [(55.28±4.97) points vs (56.17±5.22) points] (P > 0.05); after nursing, the total score of BPRS scale in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(27.20±2.65) points vs (42.86±3.84) points], and there was significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion — The implementation of psychological nursing in the crisis intervention of psychiatric patients can effectively improve the mental symptoms of patients and reduce the violence crisis intervention to the patients caused by adverse stimulation. The application of psychological nursing is worth promoting.
