Objective To explore the related factors and nursing countermeasures for psychonosema in postoperative laryngeal cancer patients. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of eight patients who accepted laryngectomy and developed psychonosema from January 2008 to April 2013. The related factors for psychonosema in these patients were analyzed and nursing countermeasures were summarized. Results Eight patients had different degree of psychonosema, and it was correlated with psychological factors, various channels of undesirable stimulation, sleep disorders, drug and other factors. After treatment and careful nursing, within three to seven days, all patients' abnormal mental symptoms were alleviated, and all of them were discharged. Conclusion There are many factors which can cause psychonosema after laryngectomy for laryngeal carcinoma. Medical staff should try to reduce or avoid inducing factors. Once it happens, medical staff should carry out psychiatric treatment in time to avoid accidents and promote the rehabilitation of patients.
