Core Tip
Core Tip: In this study, peptic ulcer as a common gastrointestinal disease, has attracted much attention due to its unique pain and potential serious complications. In addition to physical problems, people with the disease often suffer from psychologically related burdens, especially anxiety. Therefore, the treatment strategy should focus on the relief of physical symptoms and psychological anxiety of patients. In order to explore the impact of psychological nursing intervention on the anxiety level and quality of life of patients with peptic ulcer, so as to better treatment, this study divided peptic ulcer patients into two groups, psychological nursing intervention and conventional treatment.
