A Study on the Effectiveness of a Nursing Intervention Based on Objectives and Key Results Goal Management in Bowel
Objective:
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an Objectives and Key Results (OKR)-based nursing intervention in enhancing the quality of bowel preparation for colonoscopy.
Methods:
Between July and December 2021, 180 inpatients who attended the Department of Gastroenterology, Dongtai Hospital, Nantong University, had their first colonoscopy and were able to complete bowel preparation and perform colonoscopy, and met the inclusion criteria of this study, were selected as study subjects. The 180 inpatients were divided into a control group (n=90, receiving conventional care) and a research group (n=90, managed with specialist care quality standards in addition to conventional care) using a random number table to compare the pass rate of bowel preparation cecum insertion rate, compliance rate, patient satisfaction and incidence of adverse reactions.
Results:
The research group had higher rates of successful bowel preparation, appendiceal intubation, adenoma detection, compliance, and patient satisfaction than the control group (P < .05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the research group was lower than in the control group (P < .05).
Conclusion:
Implementing OKR-based nursing interventions in bowel preparation protocols significantly enhances patient outcomes and satisfaction, suggesting its widespread adoption in gastroenterology practices.
