title: [Psychological health status and nursing countermeasures of cerebral arterial sclerosis patients].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To estimate the psychological health status of attacking stage patients with cerebral arterial sclerosis(CAS).
  
  
  METHODS
  Sixty in-patients were surveyed by filling up the questionnaire (SCL-90) and compared with the customary model in China.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The symptomatic factor scores of somatization and depression of the patients were obviously higher than those of the customary model (P < 0.001). Their symptomatic factor scores of anxiety and obsessive-compulsive were higher than those of the customary model (P < 0.05). The symptomatic factor score of phobic anxiety was higher than that of the customary model (P < 0.01).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Somatization, obsessive-compulsive, depression, anxiety and phobic anxiety are common psychological problems. Corresponding nursing countermeasures are proposed in our study.
