Effects of probiotic therapy combined with personalized nursing on immune function and nursing compliance in children with acute gastroenteritis

Li SQ, Li FF

Abstract

This was an original study that mainly explored the effect of probiotic therapy and personalized nursing on immune function in children with acute gastroenteritis. One hundred and twelve (112) children with acute gastroenteritis were selected and divided into an intervention group and a control group. The control group accepted omeprazole enteric-coated capsules and routine nursing. In addition to omeprazole enteric-coated capsules, the intervention group additionally received probiotic therapy. The results showed that in comparison with the control group, the intervention group presented shorter time for relieving fever, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, lower levels of inflammatory factors, better improvements of immune function. The intervention group also showed higher rate of nursing compliance and nursing satisfaction. We conclude that probiotic therapy combined with personalized nursing can reduce inflammatory response, improve immune function and promote nursing compliance in children with acute gastroenteritis.
