ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background
Functional constipation (FC) is a common functional gastrointestinal disease. FC seriously affects quality of life. Biofeedback therapy is the treatment of choice for FC, especially outlet obstructive constipation caused by pelvic floor dysfunction. High-quality nursing is a new nursing model in modern clinical work and a new concept of modern nursing service.
Research motivation
Biofeedback therapy was reported in some case reports; however, the therapeutic outcome of the biofeedback combined with high-quality nursing has not been well studied.
Research objectives
This study aimed to explore the effect of biofeedback combined with high-quality nursing in the treatment of FC.
Research methods
One-hundred patients with FC were selected for clinical observation. Research data of these patients were summarized and analyzed.
Research results
The constipation symptom score, anorectal pressure measurement, Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and Self-Rating Depression Scale scores, and the patient satisfaction score of the experimental group (biofeedback combined with high-quality nursing) was significantly higher than those of the control group (pure biofeedback treatment).
Research conclusions
The application of biofeedback combined with high-quality nursing in the treatment of FC has significant advantages over pure biofeedback treatment, and it is worthy of promotion in clinical work.
Research perspectives
Biofeedback combined with high-quality nursing has significant advantages in the treatment of FC, and it is worthy of popularization and continuous improvement in clinical work.
