ObjectiveTo explore the effect of comfort care on patients undergoing CT enhanced scan. MethodsSixty patients undergoing CT enhanced scan were enrolled in June 2013, who were randomly divided into general care group (n=30) and comfort care group (n=30). General care group was given the routine care, while patients in the comfort care group accepted comfort care as well as routine care. The success rate of examination and excellent or good imaging rate between the two groups were compared. ResultsIn the general care group, the scan was successful in 21 patients and failed in 9, with a successful scan rate of 70.0% (21/30), and the excellent and good imaging rate was 71.4%. For the comfort care group, the scan examination succeeded in 29 patients and failed in 1 with a success rate of 96.7% (29/30), and the excellent and good imaging rate was 96.6% (28/29). The success rate in the two groups had statistical significance (χ2=7.680, P=0.006), and the excellent and good imaging rate was also significantly different (χ2=7.607, P=0.022). ConclusionComfort care for patients undergoing CT enhanced scan has a good effect in alleviating psychological stress, ensuring comfort and safety, and improving the success rate and excellent and good rate of imaging quality, which reflects its real value of nursing service in CT Department.
