Background Due to the high nursing pressure of patients with cerebral hemorrhage and the general shortage of clinical nurses, nursing support workers often participate in clinical nursing work, but the influence of nursing support workers' participation on the negative emotion, quality of life and life satisfaction of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage is unknown. Methods This quasi-experimental study was conducted with a pretest–posttest design. A total of 181 ICH patients admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to April 2022 were enrolled, including 81 patients receiving conventional care (CG control group) and 80 patients receiving nursing support worker participation (RG research group). All patients were recorded with self-perceived Burden Scale (SPBS), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Quality of Life Scale (SF-36), Somatic Self rating Scale (SSS), Patient self-care ability assessment scale (Barthel) and Satisfaction with life scale (SWLS) scores. Results Patients with high negative emotion were more willing to participate in clinical nursing work (p < 0.05). Nursing support workers involved in cerebral hemorrhage patients can alleviate negative emotions, improve life quality, improve life satisfaction (p < 0.05). Conclusion The participation of nursing support workers can alleviate the negative emotions of ICH patients, enhance their self-management ability, and improve their life quality.

Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the deadliest of all stroke disorders. This disease leads to a reduced quality of life for patients, with ICH survivors experiencing functional and cognitive impairment as well as chronic anxiety or depression. However, the exact correlation between patients' quality of life and anxiety symptoms and depressive symptoms remains unclear. It is also unclear whether improvements in patients' quality of life can reduce the degree of abnormal mood. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between quality of life, self-burden and mood status in patients with ICH to provide baseline information. Materials and methods: This was a cross-sectional study in which 307 participants were recruited by the Department of Neurosurgery at Southwest Medical University Hospital. Data were collected through semistructured interviews with participants, patient self-assessment questionnaires, and a review of electronic medical records. Results: There were significant correlations among quality of life, participants' self-perceived burden, anxiety symptoms and depressive symptoms (P<0.05). The analysis of the SF-36 scale showed that the physiological health of patients was the main factor affecting anxiety symptoms and depressive symptoms. Conclusion: A decrease in the level of negative emotions in patients was associated with an increase in quality of life and a decrease in the patient's self-perceived burden.
