Effect evaluation of standardized bowel preparation nursing process on the quality of abdominal CT examination / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the effect of standardized bowel preparation and nursing procedures in patients with colon disease underwent full abdominal CT examination.Methods:A total of 281 inpatients who were diagnosed as "colon tumors" and underwent full-abdominal CT examinations from January 2016 to December 2017 were selected. From January to December 2016, 153 patients were included in the study, which is the pre-implementation group; from January to December 2017, 128 patients were included in the study, all of whom received standardized bowel preparation and nursing procedures, and were the post-implementation group. Compare and observe the differences in the cleanliness, intestinal filling and CT image quality of patients before and after the intervention measures.Results:After the implementation of standardized nursing procedures, the proportion of patients with good intestinal cleanliness was 71.09% (91/128), which was higher than the pre-implementation of 33.33% (51/153) ( χ2 value was 40.79, P<0.001). The proportion of patients with sub-intestinal preparations also decreased ( P<0.05). The proportion of patients with good intestinal filling in the post-implementation group was 75.00% (96/128), which was higher than 42.48% (65/153) in the pre-implementation group ( χ2 value was 42.63, P<0.001). After the implementation of standardized nursing procedures, the image quality rate of patients with whole abdominal CT was 90.63% (116/128), which was higher than the pre-implementation 32.68% (50/153) ( χ2 value was 98.34, P<0.001). Conclusion:The standardized nursing process can improve the quality of bowel preparation and significantly improve the image quality of abdominal CT examination.
