Abstract
Acute gastric bleeding (AGB) is a common and potentially serious complication in patients with gastrointestinal disorders. Nursing interventions play a critical role in the management of acute gastric bleeding, but their impact on clinical outcomes is not well understood. The aim of this retrospective analysis was to evaluate the impact of nursing interventions on clinical outcomes in patients with acute gastric bleeding. A retrospective review of medical records was conducted for 220 patients with acute gastric bleeding who were admitted to the hospital between February 2022 and February 2023. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether or not they received nursing interventions during their hospital stay. Clinical outcomes, including length of hospital stay, blood transfusion requirements, and mortality rates, were compared between the two groups using descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis. Of the 220 patients included in the study, 168 (76.4%) received nursing interventions during their hospital stay. Patients who received nursing interventions had a significantly shorter length of hospital stay (mean = 7.2 days, SD = 2.1) compared to those who did not receive nursing interventions (mean = 10.5 days, SD = 3.4, p < 0.001). Additionally, the 90-day mortality rate was lower in the group receiving professional nursing interventions (4.2% vs. 15.4%, p = 0.010). Fewer patients who received nursing interventions required blood transfusions (33.3% vs. 65.2%, p < 0.001) and mortality rates were lower (6.7% vs. 20.8%, p = 0.04). Multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that professional nursing intervention was a protective factor for postoperative rebleeding in patients with gastric hemorrhage (OR 0.727, 95% CI 0.497–0.901, P < 0.001). The results of this retrospective analysis suggest that nursing interventions are associated with improved clinical outcomes in patients with acute gastric bleeding. The implementation of nursing interventions, such as individualized care plans, monitoring and evaluation, and patient education, should be encouraged to optimize patient outcomes in this population. Further research is needed to identify the most effective nursing interventions and to evaluate their cost-effectiveness.
