Core Tip	This study investigated psychological stress responses in 80 elderly hip fracture patients during prehospital emergency care. Patients were randomized to receive either routine care (control group) or routine care plus standardized psychological interventions (observation group). Results demonstrated that the observation group had significantly shorter key emergency time points, lower post-intervention Hamilton Anxiety and Depression Scale scores, and improved physiological indicators (blood pressure, heart rate) compared to the control group (P < 0.05). The observation group also exhibited better compliance and a lower incidence of complications. The study concludes that standardized psychological intervention effectively reduces psychological stress and improves outcomes, warranting clinical implementation.
