  To explore the design and application of psychological intervention paths for ascites type of advanced schistosomiasis patients.
  
  
  METHODS
  A total of 156 ascites type of advanced schistosomiasis patients were divided into an intervention group and a control group with 78 cases each.

Five steps were used to guide the nurses involved to carry out the psychological intervention.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Before the intervention, there were no statistically significant differences (all P > 0.05) between two groups in SAS, SDS, WHOQOL-BRER scores, but after the intervention, all the evaluation indexes improved in the intervention group and there were statistically significant differences between the intervention group and control group in SAS, SDS, WHOQOL-BRER scores (all P < 0.05).
