Background:
Functional constipation (FC) is a common functional gastrointestinal disease with various clinical manifestations. It is a physical and mental disease, which seriously affects patient physical and mental health and quality of life. Biofeedback therapy is the treatment of choice for FC, especially outlet obstructive constipation caused by pelvic floor dysfunction. High-quality nursing is a new nursing model in modern clinical work and a new concept of modern nursing service.
Aim:
To explore the effect of biofeedback combined with high-quality nursing in the treatment of FC.
Methods:
A total of 100 patients with FC admitted to our hospital from March 2015 to July 2019 were selected for clinical observation. These patients were randomly divided into two groups of 50: Experimental group (biofeedback combined with high-quality nursing treatment group) and control group (biofeedback group).
Results:
The constipation symptom score of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The anal canal resting pressure and initial defecation threshold of the experimental group were significantly lower than those of the control group, and the maximum squeeze systolic pressure of the anal canal of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). The Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and Zung's Self-Rating Depression Scale scores of the two groups were significantly lower than before treatment. The Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and Self-Rating Depression Scale scores of the experimental group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05). The patient satisfaction score of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion:
The application of biofeedback combined with high-quality nursing in the treatment of FC has significant advantages over pure biofeedback treatment, and it is worthy of promotion in clinical work.
