Psychological Measurement and Traditional Chinese Medical Nursing Care Regimen for Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Objective To explore the psychological features of patients with irritable bowel syndrome(IBS),and to investigate the effect of traditional Chinese medical nursing care regimen for IBS patients.Methods SCL-90 was applied for the psychological measurement of 60 IBS patients after admission.According the results of psychological measurement,we adopted traditional Chinese medical nursing care regimen for IBS patients.Psychological measurement was performed again prior to discharge,and the results were compared to those after admission.Results After traditional Chinese medical nursing care,6(10.0%)cases were clinically cured,22(36.6%) markedly effective,25(41.7%) effective,7(11.7%)ineffective,and the total effective rate was 88.3%.The results of psychological measurement showed that the aspects of somatic factor,interpersonal relationship,depression,anxiety,hostility and terror were obviously improved prior to discharge(P0.05 or P0.01 compared with those before taking traditional Chinese medical nursing care),but the improvement of paranoia was not obvious(P﹥0.05).Except for the aspects of anxiety and hostility,the scores of other aspects in IBS patients were similar to those of healthy volunteers(P﹥0.05).Conclusion Applying traditional Chinese medical nursing care for IBS patients on the basis of psychological measurement shows an effect on increasing therapeutic effect and improving the quality of life of IBS patients by relieving their psychological disorders.
