Analysis of the Effect of Traditional Chinese Medicine Characteristic Nursing Technology Intervention on Patients Undergoing Gastroscopy

Abstract

Background To explore the effect of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) nursing technology intervention on patients undergoing gastroscopy. Methods A total of 110 patients who underwent gastroscopy in our hospital from May 2019 to Jun. 2019 were selected. According to the method of random number table, they were divided into the control group and the observation group with 55 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing, while the observation group received TCM characteristic nursing (emotion intervention and acupuncture point application of traditional Chinese medicine). To compare the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) score, self-rating depression scale (SDS) score, adverse reactions and treatment satisfaction between the two groups. Results There was no significant difference in SAS and SDS scores between the two groups before intervention (P>0.05). After intervention, the SAS and SDS scores of the two groups were significantly lower than those before the intervention (P<0.05), and the SAS and SDS scores of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). During electron microscopy, both groups developed adverse reactions such as abdominal distension, nausea and vomiting, and coughing, but the total incidence of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group. The satisfaction of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with routine nursing, TCM characteristic nursing technology can effectively reduce adverse reactions caused by gastroscopy, relieve anxiety and depression, and improve nursing satisfaction.
