Nursing Report on Auricular Acupuncture Combined with Five-Element Music Therapy for Postoperative Anxiety in a Patient with Thyroid Nodules
This article analyzes a nursing case of a patient with postoperative anxiety following thyroid nodule surgery, treated with auricular acupuncture therapy combined with five-element music therapy, to explore the efficacy of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)-specific nursing interventions in alleviating anxiety. After treatment, the patient's anxiety symptoms significantly improved, with marked clinical recovery. The study demonstrates that the integration of auricular acupuncture and five-element music therapy, alongside targeted nursing measures, effectively reduces postoperative anxiety in thyroid nodule patients, improves prognosis, and is worthy of clinical application and promotion.
