Objective: To explore the effect of traditional Chinese medicine emotional nursing on anxiety and depression in patients with atrial fibrillation. Methodology: A total of 68 patients with atrial fibrillation complicated with anxiety and depression admitted to our hospital from September 2020 to August 2021 were selected as the research objects. They were divided into the control group and the observation group by convenience sampling, 34 cases in each group. The control group was given routine nursing, while the observation group was given traditional Chinese medicine emotional nursing on the basis of routine nursing. The nursing satisfaction, SAS score and SDS score of the two groups before and after intervention were compared and analyzed. Results: The nursing satisfaction score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, and the SAS score and SDS score of the observation group were lower than that of the control group, and there were significant differences (P < 0.05). Conclusion: For patients with atrial fibrillation, traditional Chinese medicine emotional nursing can effectively reduce or eliminate patients' negative emotions, effectively improve patients' nursing satisfaction, which is worthy of promotion and application in clinical practice.
