Effect of anxiety-targeted care combined with seamless care on psychological status, stress response in patients undergoing gastroscopy

This study aimed to analyze the feasibility of anxiety-targeted care combined with seamless care for patients undergoing gastroscopy, and to investigate its effects on patients' psychological state, stress response and examination results. 120 patients undergoing gastroscopy were divided into a study group (anxiety care + seamless care, 70 cases) and a control group (routine care, 50 cases). The differences in SAS and SDS scores before the intervention did not differ between two groups (<i>p</i> > 0.05) and they were lower in observation group than in control group after the intervention (<i>p</i> < 0.05); The heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure of patients in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group at 10 min before intubation (T0), upon intubation (T1), 1 min after intubation (T2) and upon extubation (T3) (<i>p</i> < 0.05); The mean time to intubation was shorter and first-pass intubation success rate was higher in the study group than in the control group (<i>p</i> < 0.05); The complication rate in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group (4.29% vs 16.00) (<i>p</i> < 0.05). Anxiety care combined with seamless care is feasible for patients undergoing gastroscopy.
