Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of rehabilitation therapy outside of the hospital via the Internet combined with suggestive psychological intervention on the mental state, sleep quality, self-rehabilitation, and psychological resilience of patients with trigeminal neuralgia. METHODS: A total of 90 patients with trigeminal neuralgia in our hospital from May 2018 to December 2019 were selected and divided into a control group and an observation group according to different nursing methods. The control group (n=45) was given the conventional nursing intervention, and the observation group (n=45) was given the rehabilitation therapy outside of the hospital via the Internet combined with suggestive psychological intervention. The mental state, sleep quality, self-rehabilitation, psychological resilience and compliance rate of the two groups before and after care were compared. RESULTS: After care, the SAS and SDS scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). After care, the VAS score and PSQI score of the observation group were lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). After care, the scores of self-care responsibility, self-concept, self-care skills, and health knowledge in the ES-CA scales of two groups and the total score were significantly increased, and the observation group was higher than the control group (P<0.05). After care, the scores of optimism, self-improvement, and resilience in the CD-RISC scales of the two groups and their total scores were significantly increased, and the observation group was higher than the control group (P<0.05). The compliance rate of the observation group was 95.23%, which was significantly higher than 76.19% of the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Rehabilitation therapy outside of the hospital combined with suggestive psychological intervention via Internet is a promising method for trigeminal neuralgia recovery.
