Methods A total of 124 CHF patients admitted to Zhongda Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University from January 2022 to December 2022 were selected as the study objects, and they were divided into control group (n=62) and observation group (n=62) by random number table method. The control group received routine humanistic care intervention, and the observation group combined motivational interview intervention on the basis of the control group. To explore the differences of mental state [Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale (DASS-21)], coping style [SCSQ], mental resilience [Conner-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC)] and well-being [Campbell Well-being Index Scale (IWB)] between the two groups before intervention and 3 months after intervention. Results After 3 months of intervention, the scores of depression, anxiety and stress in 2 groups were lower than before intervention, and the observation group was lower than the control group (P<0.05). After 3 months of intervention, the positive coping scores in both groups were higher than before intervention, and the negative coping scores were lower than before intervention, and the positive coping scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group and the negative coping scores were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). After 3 months of intervention, the scores of resilience, self-reliance, optimism, the average score of general emotion index and the score of life satisfaction questionnaire in 2 groups were higher than before intervention, and the observation group was higher than the control group (P<0.05).
