Abstract：Objective To investigate the effect of humanistic care and health education on pain tolerance of emergency patients. Methods A total of 172 emergency patients were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group, with 86 cases in each group. Both two groups received routine nursing care, and the humanistic care and health education were performed to patients in the observation group. The length of stay in emergency room, selfrating anxiety score (SAS), selfrating depression score (SDS), degree of pain and satisfaction to nursing service were compared between two groups. Results The length of stay in emergency room was (12.41±5.18) min in the observation group and was (22.17±15.26) min in the control group, with a significant difference (P＜0.05). The score of SAS and SDS were lower in the observation group than those of controls after intervention (P＜0.05). The proportion of patients with second degree or third degree of pain were less in the observation group than that of controls (P＜0.05). The observation group had higher satisfaction in mental care, nursing attitude, health education and treatment care compared with the control group (P＜0.05). Conclusion Humanistic care and health education can reduce the length of stay in emergency room, relieve the negative emotion and increase the pain tolerance of emergency patients.
