Abstract:Objective To explore the application effect of Yangming moxibustion intervention in the nursing of patients with lung distention and constipation.Methods Retrospective analysis was conducted on 200 patients with lung distention and constipation who were admitted to our hospital from February 2016 to November 2018.The patients were divided into the control group (n=100) and the study group (n=100) according to their nursing intervention methods.The control group was given routine nursing, and the study group was given Yangming moxibustion intervention.The frequency of defecation, excrement status, and quality of life between two groups were compared.Results The first dejection time and the time for the excrement form to return to normal in the study group were shorter than those in the control group, and the scores of defecation times and excrement traits in the study group at 2 and 4 were lower than those in the control group, with statistical differences (P<0.05).Before nursing, there was no statistically significant difference in the St.George′s respiratory questionnaire (SGRQ) score between the two groups (P>0.05).After nursing, the SGRQ score in the study group was lower than that in the control group, with statistical difference (P<0.05).Conclusion In patients with lung distension, Ren meridian Yangming moxibustion intervention on the basis of abdominal massage and other routine nursing care can significantly relieve their defecation difficulties, constipation, and asthma symptoms, and improve their quality of life.
