Abstract

Objective: To observe the effect of acupoint application combined with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) emotional nursing in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) complicated with hypertension. Methods: A total of 76 patients with DM complicated with hypertension admitted from May 2024 to April 2025 were selected as research subjects and randomly divided into two groups (38 cases in each group: control group and observation group). The control group received routine nursing, while the observation group received acupoint application combined with TCM emotional nursing. Changes in blood glucose, blood pressure, and psychological status were observed and compared between the two groups. Results: After nursing, the levels of blood glucose and blood pressure in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The scores of negative psychology in the observation group after nursing were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Acupoint application combined with TCM emotional nursing for patients with DM complicated with hypertension helps reduce patients' blood glucose and blood pressure, and alleviates their daily negative emotions.
