Clinical Significance of Action Research-Based Seamless Care to Improve Imaging Efficiency and Patients' Cognition, and Alleviate Patient Anxiety.

OBJECTIVE

The present study was undertaken to assess the clinical significance of action research-based seamless care to improve imaging efficiency and alleviate patient anxiety.

METHODS

A total of eighty patients who underwent imaging examinations in our hospital between May 2019 and November 2020 were recruited for this study. The patients were randomly assigned to two groups: the control group receiving routine care and the observation group receiving seamless care based on action research. The random assignment was conducted using a simple random sampling technique, ensuring an equal allocation of participants to each group at a 1:1 ratio, resulting in 40 cases in each group. Outcome measures included imaging examination duration, mean nursing duration, examination cognition, and negative emotion scores.

RESULTS

Seamless care provided shorter imaging examination duration and nursing duration, and better ensured uneventful examinations than routine care (P<0.05). Patients given seamless care exhibited higher examination cognition versus those receiving routine care (P<0.05). Seamless care offered more mitigation of negative emotions for patients than routine care (P<0.05).

CONCLUSION

Action research-based seamless care effectively improves imaging efficiency and patients' awareness of imaging examinations and contributes to alleviating patients' adverse events.
