Objective To explore the effect of the modular output-based nursing services in patients undergoing pseudo-capsule extracapsular resection for pituitary tumors. Methods A total of 180 patients who underwent pseudo-capsule extracapsular resection against pituitary tumor in a hospital in Henan Province from December 2019 to March 2021 were selected as subjects. They were assigned to a study group and a control group using the random number table method

with 90 cases in each group. Patients in the control group received routine care

and patients in the study group the modular output-based nursing service intervention. The Self-Rating Anxiety Scale（SAS） and Self-Rating Depression Scale（SDS） were used to assess the anxiety and depression status of patients in the 2 groups before and after the intervention. The incidence of complications and nursing satisfaction at the time of discharge were compared between the 2 groups. Results Before the intervention

there was no statistically significant difference in the SAS and SDS scores between the 2 groups（P>0.05）. After the intervention

the SAS and SDS scores in both groups were lower than those before the intervention

with the study group lower than the control group

and the differences were statistically significant（P<0.05）. The incidence of complications in the study group was lower than that in the control group

and the difference was statistically significant（P<0.05）. The scores of nursing theory

nursing content

nursing mode and nursing effectiveness in the nursing satisfaction questionnaire of patients in the study group were higher than those in the control group

and all the differences were statistically significant（P<0.05）. Conclusion The use of the modular output-based nursing services in patients undergoing pseudo-capsule extracapsular resection for pituitary tumors is effective in relieving patients’ anxiety and depression

reducing the incidence of complications and improving nursing satisfaction. These advantages justify a wider application of this technique clinically.
