Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
Psychological care for flat warts is an indispensable part of the patient's recovery process. Due to the prolonged course of the disease and its impact on appearance, patients often experience negative emotions such as inferiority, anxiety, and depression. The goal of psychological care is to help patients alleviate concerns and enhance their confidence in overcoming the disease. Specific measures include: 1. Medical staff and family members should provide the patient with adequate care and support, patiently listen to their feelings, and help alleviate negative emotions. 2. Encourage patients to actively participate in treatment, follow the doctor's guidance, and establish confidence in overcoming the disease. 3. Influence and change the patient's psychological state and behavior through interpersonal interaction and the words and actions of medical staff, thereby promoting psychological recovery.
