    Area of Science:

    • Medical Procedures
    • Psychology
    • Nursing Care

    Background:

    • Endoscopy procedures often induce significant patient stress.
    • Patient stress responses can be understood through Hans Seyle's General Adaptation Syndrome theory.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify stressors associated with endoscopy procedures.
    • To discuss patient coping skills and effective nursing interventions.
    • To promote positive patient outcomes and adaptive coping mechanisms.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and theoretical correlation to General Adaptation Syndrome.
    • Identification of pre-, intra-, and post-procedure stressors.
    • Description of nursing interventions including patient teaching, relaxation, and communication.

    Main Results:

    • Specific stressors encountered by patients during endoscopy were identified.
    • Various patient coping skills were discussed.
    • Nursing interventions were detailed as methods to promote positive outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective nursing interventions can mitigate patient stress during endoscopy.
    • Positive outcomes strengthen patient coping mechanisms.
    • Developed coping skills enhance patient adaptation to future stressors.
