## Abstract

To explore the effect of nursing process-oriented comprehensive nursing on postoperative negative emotions and self-protection ability of kidney transplant recipients.

A total of 80 patients after kidney transplantation were selected from June 2020 to May 2022 in our hospital as the research object, and were divided into control group (40 cases) and observation group (40 cases) by taking the time of carrying out nursing program-oriented comprehensive nursing in our hospital (June 2021 to May 2021, routine nursing). The emotional state [Hamilton Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAMA), (HAMD)], self-care ability and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups.

After intervention, the emotional state HAMA and HAMD scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and knowledge level, self-concept, self-responsibility, self-care score and total satisfaction rate were higher than those in the control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05).

Nursing procedure-oriented comprehensive nursing care can help renal transplant recipients relieve negative emotions quickly, increase patients' postoperative self-care ability, and increase patient satisfaction with nursing care, all of which have great significance and are well worth promoting.
