Objective:To observe the effect of auricular point pressing bean therapy on anxiety in patients with ordinary community acquired pneumonia during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. MethodsEighty-two patients with ordinary community acquired pneumonia who were excluded from COVID-19 by fever clinic were randomly divided into treatment group (42 cases) and control group (40 cases). Both groups received standard treatment for the primary disease, while the treatment group simultaneously received auricular point pressing bean therapy. The course of treatment in both groups was 7 days. The severity of the disease was assessed by the CURB-65 scores. The anxiety status of the patients was assessed by Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and the health status of the patients was assessed by EuroQol Five Dimensions questionnaire (EQ-5D).  Results:①After treatment, the CURB-65 scores of the two groups were improved (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). The hospitalization time of the two groups has no significant(P＞0.05).②The SAS score decreased significantly (P<0.05) and EQ-5D score increased significantly (P<0.05) in the treatment group after treatment, but the SAS score and EQ-5D score in the control group did not change significantly after treatment (P>0.05). After treatment, there were significant differences in SAS score and EQ-5D score between the two groups (P<0.05).  Conclusion:Auricular point pressing bean therapy can obviously reduce the anxiety level of patients with ordinary community acquired pneumonia during COVID-19 pandemic, and improve negative emotions and the overall health status of patients.
