Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Patient Care
  • Healthcare Communication

Background:

  • Effective patient information is crucial for informed consent and procedural satisfaction.
  • Gastroscopy procedures require clear communication regarding both procedural steps and sensory experiences.
  • Fragmented care can negatively impact the patient's understanding and overall experience.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the quality and completeness of information provided to patients undergoing gastroscopy in Northern Ireland.
  • To identify the primary sources of information for patients and their perceptions of its adequacy.
  • To evaluate the inclusion of sensory information in patient education for gastroscopy.

Main Methods:

  • Development and distribution of author-created questionnaires to patients and nurses.

  • Data collection from 402 patients and 62 nurses regarding information provision.
  • Analysis of patient-reported information sources and satisfaction levels.

    • Main Results:

    • Patients primarily received procedural information from nurses.
    • Patients acknowledged the importance of sensory information during the gastroscopy procedure.
    • General patient satisfaction with information was reported, despite evidence of fragmented care.
    • A significant need for enhanced, holistic information delivery was identified.

    Conclusions:

    • Current information provision for gastroscopy patients in Northern Ireland is fragmented.
    • There is a critical need for integrated care models ensuring holistic patient information.
    • Healthcare professionals, including nurses and doctors, must collaborate to provide comprehensive procedural and sensory details at the right time.
