Abstract

To observe and analyze the clinical effectiveness of psychological counseling in functional dyspepsia. A total of 100 patients diagnosed with functional dyspepsia in the Department of Gastroenterology of our hospital from May 2023 to June 2024 were selected as the study subjects. According to the order of admission, the patients were randomly divided into two groups: a control group and an observation group, each consisting of 50 cases. The control group received conventional treatment for gastroenterology, while the observation group received conventional treatment plus psychological counseling. The Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) were used as assessment tools to evaluate the levels of depression and anxiety before and after different treatment regimens, and comparisons and analyses were conducted. Patient satisfaction with the visit was assessed using a satisfaction survey. The decrease in SDS and SAS scores in the observation group was significantly greater than that in the control group, with significant differences in data (P < 0.05). In terms of medical satisfaction, the observation group had a satisfaction rate of 96.00% (48/50), compared to 80.00% (40/50) in the control group, with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). For patients with functional dyspepsia, psychological counseling intervention can effectively improve negative psychological states such as anxiety and depression, and enhance patient satisfaction with their medical visits.
