Objective: To explore the clinical effect of applying cognitive behavioral intervention in patients with traumatic optic nerve injury. Methods: A total of 50 patients with traumatic optic nerve injury admitted to our hospital from January 2024 to October 2025 were selected for analysis. The selected patients were randomly divided into two groups using a random number table. The control group (n=25) received routine nursing intervention, while the observation group (n=25) received cognitive behavioral intervention. Comparisons between groups included: improvement of psychological status, nursing satisfaction, and improvement of quality of life. Results: The comparison of psychological status (SAS and SDS) scores between the two groups showed no significant differences before nursing (P>0.05). After nursing, the SAS and SDS scores of both groups decreased, and the scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Nursing satisfaction in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The comparison of quality-of-life scores between the two groups showed no significant differences before nursing (P>0.05). After nursing, the quality-of-life scores increased in both groups, and the scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusion: Cognitive behavioral intervention has a significant effect in patients with traumatic optic nerve injury. It not only improves negative psychological states such as anxiety and depression but also increases patient satisfaction and contributes to improving quality of life, leading to good prognostic outcomes and worthy of wide clinical application. However, the number of samples included in this study is small, and the study period is relatively short; therefore, certain deviations may exist in the results. To obtain more accurate research findings, future studies should extend the research period and increase the sample size.
