Objective: To observe the effect of rational-emotion therapy in the treatment of primary
hypertension with anxiety. Methods: 60 patients with primary hypertension with anxiety from 1 January
2018 to 31 December 2020 were randomly divided into observation and controls, with 30 each of the two
groups. Routine care had been given to the control group, rational-emotion therapy had been carried
to the observation group. Blood pressure, anxiety and nursing-satisfaction were compared before and
after the intervention. Results: After treating, blood pressure in both groups decreased to different
degrees, statistically significant, p<0.05; However, there was no significant differences between groups,
p> 0.05;Compared with control groups, the observation groups showed higher nursing satisfaction, there
was statistically significant differences in group-comparison, p<0.05. After psychological intervention,
the two Hamiltonian anxiety scale(HAMA) scores decreased to varying degrees, and the contrasts were
statistically significant, p<0.05. Conclusion: Rational-emotion therapy could treat primary hypertension
with anxiety and , improved anxiety effectively, achieved better curative-effect. The blood-pressure of
the observation group had been controled well than the control group, nursing-satisfaction had been
improved also. That had certain clinical application value.
