Core Tip
Core Tip: This study assessed comprehensive psychological cognitive nursing (CPCN) in 171 chronic pain-depression patients (2022-2024), randomized into control (n = 85, standard care) and observation (n = 86, CPCN) groups. Outcomes included psychological status [self-rating anxiety scale (SAS)/self-rating depression scale (SDS)], pain [visual analog scale (VAS)], quality of life [short-form 36 (SF-36)], sleep [Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)], and satisfaction. Post-intervention, the observation group showed significantly lower SAS (43.2 vs 56.8), SDS (41.5 vs 58.1), VAS (3.1 vs 5.4), PSQI (6.2 vs 9.7), and higher SF-36 (78.3 vs 65.2) scores vs controls (all P < 0.05), with 92% satisfaction (vs 74%). CPCN effectively alleviates pain-depression symptoms and enhances disease management confidence, supporting its integration into routine care.
