Introduction
Patients in COVID-19 intensive care units often face psychological challenges like anxiety and depression. These issues can hinder their recovery. This study looks at how a supportive training program can help reduce these symptoms in hospitalized patients.
Study Overview
In 2021, a study was conducted with 60 COVID-19 patients in Najaf hospitals. Patients were randomly divided into two groups: one received standard care, while the other participated in a supportive educational program along with their routine care. Both groups completed a questionnaire to measure their stress, anxiety, and depression levels at the start and again on the fifth day of hospitalization.
Results
The results showed that patients in the educational program experienced a significant decrease in stress, anxiety, and depression compared to those who only received standard care. This suggests that supportive education can effectively improve mental health during hospitalization.
Conclusion
Implementing a supportive educational program in COVID wards can significantly help reduce mental health issues among patients. This program can be easily managed by nurses without incurring extra costs.
Future Opportunities
Future research could focus on the long-term benefits of such programs and how satisfied patients are with the education they receive.
Measurable Outcomes
Clinics should aim to track improvements in patient mental health by setting clear goals based on the study’s findings.
