Abstract
Objective To explore the application effects of targeted health education for gastroscopy patients. Methods A total of 300 gastroscopy patients treated in Gastroenterology Department were selected as objects and were randomly divided into control group (150 cases) and observation group (150 cases). The patients of control group were treated with conventional health education programs, while the patients of observation group were treated with targeted health education programs on the basis of convention. Degree of discomfort during inspection, fear, nausea, vomiting, success rate of first intubation, and patient satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results Degree of discomfort in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group, and patients with fear of the inspection, nausea, or vomiting in the observation group were significantly less than those in the control group (P<0.05); success rate of first intubation in the observation group was 100.0%, significantly higher than in the control group (82.7%) (χ2=9.764, P<0.05); patient′s satisfaction in the observation group was 95.3%, significantly higher than 76.7% in the control group (χ2=9.263, P<0.05). Conclusions Targeted health education can improve patients′ discomfort level during gastroscopy, reduce fear, nausea, vomiting and other reactions, and enhance success rate of first intubation and patient satisfaction.
