Objective:To observe the effect of Jieyu Anmian prescription of Chinese medicine foot bath on gastrointestinal function in patients with digestive system tumor during perioperative period.Methods:A total of 130 patients with digestive system tumors were chosen from January 2019 to March 2020 for the first time visits to the first hospital of lanzhou university for surgical treatment, 15 cases lost follow-up, and the rest 115 cases of patients were divided into the experimental group (59 cases) and the control group (56 cases) according to random number table method. The control group using conventional care method, the experimental group was treated with Jieyu Anmian washing formula on the basis of routine nursing care for 10 days. During the foot bath, the recovery of gastrointestinal function, the time of the first exhaust and defecation, the length of stay, the cost of stay and the satisfaction of patients were compared between the two groups.Results:The recovery time of bowel sounds, anal exhaust time and first defecation time of the experimental group were all earlier than those of the control group (16.21±11.81) h, (19.64±12.40) h and (41.98 ±19.16) h, respectively, while those of the control group were (27.34±31.47) h, (35.81±18.26) h and (34.47±16.41) h, respectively. The differences were statistically significant ( t value was -2.41, -5.33, 2.17, P< 0.05). The results of the survey of patient satisfaction showed that the experimental group was superior to the control group, with 97.47 ± 4.37 in the experimental group and 94.19 ± 3.29 in the control group, with statistically significant differences ( t value was 3.89, P<0.01). The satisfaction of doctors in the experimental group was 97.41 ± 6.25 and 94.21±5.91 in the control group, with statistically significant difference ( t value was 3.95, P<0.05). The satisfaction of nurses in the experimental group was 97.58 ± 4.53 and 93.85±5.23 in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 4.12, P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of length of stay and hospitalization expenses ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Jieyuanmian prescription of Chinese medicine foot bath can promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function, promote the exhaust and defecation, and improve the satisfaction of patients and nurses.
