Abstract:
Objective: To study the role of a nurse in caring for
patients with gastrointestinal diseases. Material and
methods: The study included patients with gastrointesti
nal diseases with different disease progressions and nurs
es with different levels of education. Group 1 consisted of
85 patients with complicated peptic ulcer disease, Group 2 - 83 patients with uncomplicated gastrointestinal diseas
es who underwent therapeutic training at a health school
for patients with gastrointestinal diseases. Results: One
of the main psychological problems observed in 100% of
patients is a decrease in emotional background. In this re
gard, nursing care is of particular importance, since after
discharge from the hospital, the patient will have to follow
a diet and daily routine, and the nurse’s responsibility is
to convey to the patient the importance of following these
rules. Redistribution of responsibilities in the field of pre
vention and independent admission of nursing personnel
makes medical care more accessible, which improves the
quality of primary and secondary prevention. Conclu
sions: A patient’s recovery in a hospital depends not only
on a doctor’s competently selected treatment, but also on
properly organized nursing care.
