Introduction: Congenital microtia is a common facial deformity that affects both the physical and mental health of children. Families often experience anxiety due to prolonged treatment processes. Traditional treatments have not fully addressed the psychological needs of families. This study aims to assess the impact of multidisciplinary nursing interventions on alleviating anxiety among families of children with congenital microtia. Methods: This study included 117 children with congenital microtia and their families. Data such as parental education level, household income, and family structure were collected, and family anxiety levels were assessed using the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS). Interventions included art therapy, health education, charity fund assistance, and case support services. Results: The study found that parental education level, household income, and family structure significantly influenced anxiety levels. Multidisciplinary nursing interventions significantly reduced family anxiety, with satisfaction rates for health education and case support services exceeding 98%. Conclusions: Multidisciplinary nursing interventions effectively alleviate anxiety in families of children with congenital microtia, particularly through health education, case support, and psychological counseling. Optimizing intervention strategies and addressing family-specific needs, such as economic and educational background, can improve treatment outcomes and family satisfaction.
