Objectives: To evaluate the effects of MI combined with PNI on the quality of life, self-efficacy, psychological state, and sleep quality of patients with GERD. Methods: 60 GERD patients were enrolled based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and randomly assigned to the observation (30 cases) or control groups (30 cases). The observation group underwent MI combined with PNI, while control group received conventional nursing interventions. The changes in inflammatory response-related indicators were compared between two groups. The reflux disease questionnaire (RDQ), symptom self-rating scale (SCL-90), self-efficacy scale (GSES), simple SF-36 scale and Pittsburgh sleep quality index scale (PSQI) were employed to assess the patients conditions before, three months following and after nursing. Results: Baseline inflammatory markers and scale scores showed no significant between-group differences. After 3 months, the observation group demonstrated significant reductions in these inflammatory markers compared with baseline and the control group. At the same time point, SCL-90 scores decreased across multiple domains, GSES scores improved, and SF-36 scores increased in several dimensions. PSQI scores were also significantly lower in the observation group, indicating better sleep quality. Conclusion: MI combined with PNI may reduce inflammation, relieve negative emotions, and enhance self-efficacy, quality of life, and sleep in GERD patients.
