Abstract
BACKGROUND

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common inflammatory disease of the pancreas with high mortality rates. It is of great significance to take scientific intervention measures for patients with AP in time.

AIM

To explore the effect of standardized nursing combined with mindfulness stress reduction training on the curative effect, negative emotion, and quality of life in patients with acute pancreatitis.

METHODS

A total of 80 patients with acute pancreatitis admitted to The First People's Hospital of Jiangxia District Hospital from May 2021 to May 2023 were randomly divided into control group and observation group (n = 40). Patients in control group were given the standardized nursing intervention, and the observation group were given standardized nursing plus mindfulness stress reduction training intervention. The time of clinical symptom disappeared or improved, complication occurrence rate, emotional state, and quality of life score of the two groups were observed and compared.

RESULTS

In comparison with the control group, the bowel sound recovery time, ventosity and abdominal pain improvement time, and venting and cacation time in observation group were shorter, and the total incidence rate of complications was reduced, showing statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). The scores of anxiety and depression in observation group were lower than those in control group (P < 0.05). Serum levels of tumour necrosis factor alpha, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β and IL-8 in observation group were lower than those in control group (P < 0.05). The scores of life quality in physiology, psychology, environment and social relations in observation group were higher than those in control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

The application of standardized nursing intervention combined with mindfulness stress reduction training in patients with acute pancreatitis has a definite effect, which can help to ameliorate the clinical symptoms, anxiety and depression of patients, reduce the incidence rate of complications, and improve the prognosis of patients.

Keywords: Acute pancreatitis; Standardized nursing; Mindfulness stress reduction training; Negative emotion; Quality of life

Core Tip: Acute pancreatitis is a destructive inflammatory condition of the pancreas in gastroenterology. In this study, after intervention of standardized nursing combined with mindfulness stress reduction training, the total incidence rate of complications, the scores of anxiety and depression, and levels of serum inflammatory cytokines were decreased, and the scores of life quality was elevated, suggesting that the combined intervention of standardized nursing and mindfulness stress reduction training is beneficial to reduce complications and negative emotions, as well as improve quality of life.
