Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the nursing measures and effects of ginger moxibustion in the treatment of heart failure (yang qi deficiency type) with gastrointestinal symptoms. Methods: 86 patients with heart failure (yang qi deficiency type) accompanied by gastrointestinal symptoms who were admitted to the hospital between January 2023 and January 2024 were selected and divided into 43 cases in each group by random number table grouping; Group I implemented integrated care, while Group II adopted conventional care. The indicators of care were compared between the two groups. Results: After the nursing care, the digestive symptom scores of Group I were lower than those of Group II, and the psychological scores were lower than those of Group II (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Ginger moxibustion can improve gastrointestinal symptoms and enhance the psychological health of patients with heart failure (yang qi deficiency type) with gastrointestinal symptoms.
