Influence of psychological nursing on gastroesophageal reflux disease recurrence / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To retrospectively analyze the feasibility and effect of psychological nursing on patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Methods 121 patients diagnosed with GERD were divided into the psychological nursing group(60 cases) and the drug treatment group(61 cases).The data of these patients were collected and the RDQ score was assessed. Results The treatment effect of the drug treatment group was better than that of the psychological nursing group.34 cases relapsed in the drug treatment group and 14 cases relapsed in the psychological nursing group during half a year followup. Conclusions Both the psychological nursing group and the drug treatment group can control the symptoms of GERD,although drug intervention is better than non-drug intervention.However in a long run drug intervention has a higher recurrence and is more expensive.So non-drug intervention is an effective and feasible method for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
