Abstract
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of comprehensive psychological intervention on improving the quality of diagnosis and reducing medical disputes in patients patients with delayed imaging in positron emission tomography/X-ray computed tomography (PET-CT).
MethodsA total of 138 patients with delayed imaging during PET-CT examination in the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2019 to March 2020 were selected as the study objects, and were randomly divided into control group and intervention group, with 69 patients in each group.The control group was given routine nursing, while the intervention group was given comprehensive psychological intervention.Psychological scores, diagnostic quality, nursing satisfaction and medical disputes were recorded and compared between the two groups before and after intervention.
ResultsAfter intervention, the scores of the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) in the intervention group were significantly lower than those in the control group, respectively, with statistical significance(P<0.05).After intervention, the inspection time and unqualified rate of the PET-CT examination patients in the intervention group were significantly less than those in the control group, respectively, and the excellent and good rate of the examination images and the cooperation degree of the examination were significantly higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).During the intervention period, the nursing satisfaction of patients in the intervention group with PET-CT examination was significantly higher than that in the control group, and the incidence of medical disputes was significantly lower than that in the control group, with statistical significance(P<0.05).
ConclusionsThe implementation of comprehensive psychological intervention for patients with delayed imaging during PET-CT examination can significantly improve the psychological state of patients, shorten the examination time, improve the quality of image diagnosis and nursing satisfaction, and the patients have a high degree of cooperation in examination and a low incidence of medical disputes.
