BACKGROUND

Endoscopic colon polypectomy is a common procedure used to remove polyps that may develop into colorectal cancer if left untreated. Despite these advantages, patients frequently experience anxiety and other adverse reactions. Standardized evidence-based nursing practices are essential for enhancing patient care by addressing both physical and psychological health issues.

AIM

To analyze the impact of standardized evidence-based nursing on psychological status and adverse reactions of patients undergoing endoscopic colonic polypectomy.

METHODS

Data from 200 patients who underwent endoscopic colonic polypectomy at the authors' hospital between January and June 2024 were randomly assigned to two groups: Control [received routine nursing care ( = 100)] and study [received standardized evidence-based nursing intervention(s) ( = 100)]. Psychological status, visual analog scale, and Short-Form 36 Health Survey scores, adverse events, and satisfaction with nursing were compared between the two groups.

RESULTS

After the interventions, the study group exhibited significantly lower scores on the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, along with a reduced incidence of adverse events compared with the control group ( < 0.05). Short-Form 36 Health Survey scores and overall satisfaction with nursing care were also significantly higher in the intervention group ( < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

Standardized evidence-based nursing interventions effectively reduced negative patient emotions and enhanced quality of life and satisfaction, demonstrating high safety.
