Brief summary
Background: Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) remains a highly effective intervention for severe psychiatric disorders yet concerns about cognitive and emotional side effects persist. Integrated psychoeducational psychiatric nursing intervention plays a pivotal role in mitigating these challenges, promoting patient safety, and enhancing therapeutic outcomes. So, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of integrated psychoeducational psychiatric nursing intervention on health-related quality of life, emotional well-being and anxiety in patients receiving modified electroconvulsive therapy. Subjects and method: A quasi-experimental research design was utilized from January 2026 to April 2026. Setting: The study was conducted at two psychiatric inpatient hospitals in shebin elkom, Menoufia Governorate, Egypt. Subjects: A purposive sample of sixty patients was selected from the previously mentioned setting. Tools of data collection: Four valid tools were used in data collection: tool 1: A structured interview questionnaire to assess socio-demographic characteristics of the studied subjects, tool 2: The Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) that measures the health-related quality of life of patients with various diseases, tool 3: The Emotional Well-Being Scale (EWBS) is a psychological assessment tool developed to evaluate individual emotional experiences and their overall affective well-being, tool 4: Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) to measure the severity of anxiety symptoms in adults and adolescents.
