Clinical Benefits of Integrating Superior Nursing Care With Enteral Nutrition in Acute Pancreatitis

This study evaluated the effects of high-quality nursing (HQN) combined with enteral nutrition support (ENS) in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP). Patients were assigned to either a control group (routine care) or an experimental group (HQN plus ENS). Outcomes included hospitalization time and cost, amylase recovery, nutritional and immune indicators (total protein, prealbumin, albumin, CD4+ T cells, CD4+/CD8+ ratio, WBC), inflammatory markers (IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, CRP), severity scores (APACHE II, CT), psychological status (SAS, SDS), quality of life (SF-36), and nursing satisfaction. Compared to controls, the experimental group had significantly shorter hospital stays and lower costs (P < 0.05), improved nutritional and immune profiles (P < 0.05), reduced inflammatory markers (P < 0.05), and better clinical scores. Anxiety and depression decreased, while quality of life and nursing satisfaction increased (P < 0.05). These results indicate that HQN combined with ENS effectively enhances clinical outcomes, immune function, psychological well-being, and overall prognosis in AP patients, supporting its clinical application.
