Abstract：Objective：To observe the effect of auricular point pressing with beans and acupuncture combined with routine medical measures on promotion of early rehabilitation in patients after operation for differentiated thyroid carcinoma(DTC). Methods：A total of 88 cases of patients were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group，44 cases in each group. Both groups were given routine expectant treatment and comprehensive nursing measures，and the observation group was additionally given auricular point pressing with beans and acupuncture. Both groups were treated for seven days. After treatment for one，two，three，five and seven days respectively，the postoperative pain degrees were evaluated by Numerical Rating Scale(NRS). Before and after treatment，the scores of Self- Rating- Depression Scale(SDS)，Self- Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS) and Symptom Checklist- 90(SCL- 90) were assessed. The incidence of complications in the two groups were compared. The nursing satisfaction was evaluated by patients when discharge. Results：Two，three，five and seven days after operation respectively，the NRS scores in the two groups were gradually decreased(P＜0.05)；the scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group at the same period(P＜0.01). After treatment， the scores of SDS，SAS and SCL-90 in the two groups were decreased when compared with those before treatment(P＜0.01)，and the above scores in the observation group were all lower than those in the control group(P＜0.01). The total incidence of complications in the observation group was lower than that in the control group， and the nursing satisfaction was higher， differences being significant(P＜0.05). Conclusion： Based on routine expectant treatment and comprehensive nursing measures， the additional application of auricular point pressing with beans and acupuncture for patients after operation for DTC can effectively relieve pain， anxiety and depression， improve their psychological status， reduce the incidence of complications，and enhance their satisfaction to nursing measures.
