Abstract

BACKGROUND

Colorectal cancer (CRC) has become the third leading cancer with the third highest occurrence rate and the second highest death ratio globally. Its incidence and mortality rates have been increasing annually in recent years, posing a serious threat to global public health. Digestive endoscopy technology can not only be used for the diagnosis of CRC, but it can also be used in determining the depth of infiltration in early CRC. There are significant deficiencies in care measures in this area.

AIM

To investigate the effect of digestive endoscopy center nursing on the psychological state and pain level of CRC patients.

METHODS

A total of 120 CRC patients were randomly and equally divided into a control group and an observation group. The patients in the control group received basic routine nursing care, and the patients in the observation group received systematic digestive endoscopy center nursing care. The patients' compliance and nursing satisfaction were observed and recorded, as well as the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores.

RESULTS

After care, the SAS and SDS scale scores of patients in both groups significantly decreased compared to before care (P < 0.05). The VAS scale scores significantly increased for each group compared to before examination (P < 0.05). The SAS, SDS and VAS scale scores of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group after nursing care (P < 0.05), and compliance and satisfaction of nursing care were significantly higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

Digestive endoscopy center nursing can effectively intervene in and improve the psychological state and pain level of CRC patients, suggesting it is a valuable approach to adopt in the clinic.

Core Tip: This study explores the impact of gastrointestinal endoscopy center nursing on colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. It finds that systematic nursing care significantly reduced anxiety (Self-Rating Anxiety Scale), depression (Self-Rating Depression Scale), and pain levels (Visual Analogue Scale), while enhancing patient compliance and satisfaction. This highlights the crucial role of specialized nursing interventions in improving the psychological and physical well-being for CRC patients undergoing endoscopic procedures.
