Abstract
BACKGROUND
Gastric ulcers (GUs) have a high risk of clinical morbidity and recurrence, and further exploration is needed for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease.
AIM
To investigated the effects of a diet plan on pepsinogen (PG) I, PG II, gastrin-17 (G-17) levels and nutritional status in patients with GUs.
METHODS
A total of 100 patients with GUs treated between May 2022 and May 2023 were enrolled, with 47 patients in the control group receiving routine nursing and 53 patients in the experimental group receiving dietary nursing intervention based on a diet plan. The study compared the two groups in terms of nursing efficacy, adverse events (vomiting, acid reflux, and celialgia), time to symptom improvement (burning sensation, acid reflux, and celialgia), gastric function (PG I, PG II, and G-17 levels), and nutritional status [prealbumin (PA) and albumin (ALB) levels].
RESULTS
The experimental group showed a markedly higher total effective rate of nursing, a significantly lower incidence of adverse events, and a shorter time to symptom improvement than the control group. Additionally, the experimental group’s post-intervention PG I, PG II, and G-17 levels were significantly lower than pre-intervention or control group levels, whereas PA and ALB levels were significantly higher.
CONCLUSION
The diet plan significantly reduced PG I, PG II, and G-17 levels in patients with GUs and significantly improved their nutritional status.
Core Tip: Gastric ulcers (GUs) have high clinical morbidity and recurrence, posing varying degrees of adverse effects on patients’ gastric function, physical and mental health, and quality of life. Such patients have also been a key focus of nursing interventions. This study included 100 patients with GUs and compared the clinical effects of routine nursing vs dietary nursing intervention based on a diet plan. We found that the dietary nursing intervention significantly improved nursing efficacy in patients with GUs, preventing vomiting, acid reflux, and celialgia; promoting symptom improvement; and helping restore gastric function and nutritional status, thus providing an effective new option for the clinical nursing of patients with GUs.
