The benefits of informing patients before undergoing surgery or other investigative procedures are clearly demonstrated in the literature. This study aimed to determine the amount and type of information given to patients before, during and after undergoing gastroscopy investigations. A survey approach incorporating structured interviews and structured observation was utilized. There were statistically significant differences between the information acquired by younger and older patients prior to, but not during or after, the procedure. Nurses appear to be the most important source of information for older patients while the information leaflet was perceived as the most important source of information for younger patients.
在手术或其他检查程序前告知患者的益处已在文献中得到明确证明。本研究旨在确定在胃镜检查前、检查期间和检查后向患者提供的信息数量和类型。采用了结合结构化访谈和结构化观察的调查方法。在检查前，年轻患者和老年患者获取的信息存在统计学上的显著差异，但在检查期间和检查后没有差异。护士似乎是老年患者最重要的信息来源，而信息手册被认为是年轻患者最重要的信息来源。
