Objective: To explore the effect of nursing intervention on improving the cognitive function of patients with mild cognitive impairment. Methods: Sixty patients with mild cognitive impairment in Weifang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2020 to January 2021 were randomly selected for this study. They were divided into two groups: a reference group (routine follow-up and daily health education) and a research group (nursing intervention based on the reference group). Results: Before nursing, there was no significant difference in the MoCA, MMSE, ADL, SDS, and SAS scores between the two groups (p > 0.05). After intervention, the MOCA score and MMSE score of the research group were lower than those of the reference group, the ADL score of the research group was higher than that of the reference group, and the quality-of-life score of the research group was also higher than that of the reference group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Early nursing intervention for patients with mild cognitive impairment can effectively improve their cognitive functions and daily abilities.
