Objective:
The present study was undertaken to assess the clinical significance of action research-based seamless care to improve imaging efficiency and alleviate patient anxiety.
Methods:
A total of eighty patients who underwent imaging examinations in our hospital between May 2019 and November 2020 were recruited for this study. The patients were randomly assigned to two groups: the control group receiving routine care and the observation group receiving seamless care based on action research. The random assignment was conducted using a simple random sampling technique, ensuring an equal allocation of participants to each group at a 1:1 ratio, resulting in 40 cases in each group. Outcome measures included imaging examination duration, mean nursing duration, examination cognition, and negative emotion scores.
Results:
Seamless care provided shorter imaging examination duration and nursing duration, and better ensured uneventful examinations than routine care (P<0.05). Patients given seamless care exhibited higher examination cognition versus those receiving routine care (P<0.05). Seamless care offered more mitigation of negative emotions for patients than routine care (P<0.05).
Conclusion:
Action research-based seamless care effectively improves imaging efficiency and patients' awareness of imaging examinations and contributes to alleviating patients' adverse events.
