The Impact of Comprehensive Education Before Gastroscopy on Improving the Tolerance of Patients

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This clinical trial is being conducted to assess whether the comprehensive education before gastroscopy could reduce the adverse reactions, such as nausea, vomiting and improve patient satisfaction.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: Comprehensive education group<br>The details of Comprehensive education are as follows: introduce the purpose, method and function of breathing training and the whole process of gastroscopy; instruct patients to take deep breath training, inhaling with his/her nose and exhaling with his/her mouth, provide patients with a disposable dental biting device and repeat exercising deep breathing again until he/she is fully mastered, inform patients to cooperate with the instructions issued by endoscopist and endoscopy nurse during the whole process of gastroscopy, inform patients to inhale with nose and exhale with mouth when the gastroscope passes through the throat, then he/she should perform inhaling and exhaling with his/her nose until the end of the gastroscopy when the endoscopist ask to adjust the breathing method, inform patients that there would be some normal physiological reaction when gastroscopy, such as throat discomfort and nausea/vomiting. | Other: Comprehensive education group<br>* The details of Comprehensive education are as follows: introduce the purpose, method and function of breathing training and the whole process of gastroscopy; instruct patients to take deep breath training, inhaling with his/her nose and exhaling with his/her mouth, provide patients with a disposable dental biting device and repeat exercising deep breathing again until he/she is fully mastered, inform patients to cooperate with the instructions issued by endoscopist and endoscopy nurse during the whole process of gastroscopy, inform patients to inhale with nose and exhale with mouth when the gastroscope passes through the throat, then he/she should perform inhaling and exhaling with his/her nose until the end of the gastroscopy when the endoscopist ask to adjust the breathing method, inform patients that there would be some normal physiological reaction when gastroscopy, such as throat discomfort and nausea/vomiting.<br>|
| No Intervention: standard education<br>The details of standard education are as follows: inform patients to cooperate with the instructions issued by endoscopist and endoscopy nurse during the whole process of gastroscopy, inform patients that there would be some normal physiological reaction when gastroscopy, such as the throat discomfort and nausea/vomiting. | |

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Adverse reaction times in gastroscopy | research assistant records nausea/vomiting/retching times in the whole process of gastroscopy | 1 day | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Patients' tolerance scores | At the end of the procedure, the patients were asked about the tolerance in the process of gastroscopy by using a 100-mm visual analogue scale. Tolerance includes the extent of pain and nausea. The endpoints were assigned no nausea or no pain  to the left and worst possible nausea or worst pain imaginable  to the right. | 1 day |
