Background:
Gastritis is inflammation of the stomach, and is one of the common health issues seen worldwide, especially in developing countries.
Objective:
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of tele-counseling on pain, sleep and gastroıntestınal symptoms in patients with gastritis.
Methods:
The study was implemented between November 2021 and December 2021. This study was conducted in a pre-test post-test randomized controlled trial design. By simple randomization, 55 patients were assigned to the intervention group, and 55 patients to the control group. Before the study, descriptive ınformation form, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Richards Campbell Sleep Scale (RCSQ), Patient Assessment of Gastrointestinal Disorders-Symptom Severity Index (PAGI-SYM) were applied to all persons. Telephone interviews were made with the patients in the intervention group. Patients were telephoned at weeks 1, 3, 5 and 7 and training was provided by tele-nursing service. Training was given on the risk factors of gastritis, reduce gastritis complaints and prevent recurrences, proper nutrition, coping with stress, rational drug use, and hygiene. The study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov(NCT04669275).
Results:
Post-test results showed decreased PAGI-SYM and VAS scores and increased RCSQ scores in the intervention group (p<0.005). In the post-test results of the intervention group, a moderate negative correlation was found between the total PAGI-SYM score and RCSQ, while a highly significant positive correlation was observed between PAGI-SYM and VAS. Additionally, a moderate negative correlation was identified between VAS and the total RCSQ score. CONCLUSıON: Tele-counseling may be used to reduce pain intensity, GIS symptoms and improve sleep problems in patients with gastritis.
