title: Influence of psychological intervention before emergent ocular trauma surgery on patients' negative emotions.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the effect of preoperative psychological intervention on alleviating negative emotions in patients undergoing emergent ocular trauma surgery.
  
  
  METHODS
  A total of 100 patients undergoing emergent ocular trauma surgery were selected using convenience sampling and randomly divided into control (n = 49) and experimental (n = 51) groups. Patients in the control group received conventional nursing and their counterparts in the observation group were treated with individualized psychological interventions including psychological support, relaxation training, and humanistic care based on conventional nursing care. Self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS), and fear visual analog scale (FVAS) scores were statistically compared between the two groups.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The scores of SAS, SDS, and FAVS were significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group (all P < 0.001).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Comprehensive psychological intervention effectively eliminates negative emotions in patients undergoing emergent ocular trauma surgery and accelerates their physical and mental recovery.
