For 100 patients admitted to the department of gastroenterology at a medium-sized hospital in Denmark between February and June 2021, we collected data on the quality of recovery after surgery, as well as subjective and objective sleep quality measured using Fitbit smartwatch data. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and multiple line regression. We found a significant association between the quality of recovery and subjective sleep parameters. Objective sleep measures showed a tendency toward an association between the total score of the Fitbit ActiGraph and the quality of recovery, although not significant. It is concluded that sleep quality is important for patient recovery. The increasing number of patients using wearables during hospitalization calls for further exploration of the reliability of such devices.</p>","PeriodicalId":12666,"journal":{"name":"Gastroenterology Nursing","volume":"48 4","pages":"280-287"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144729742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients in the intervention group had a significantly lower mean state anxiety score than the control group (34.62 ± 7.58 vs. 40.20 ± 8.27, p = .001). During the endoscopy procedure, patients in the control group reported more pain (3.10 ± 2.06 vs. 2.40 ± 1.47), although this difference was just shy of significance (p = .054).

Using web scraping, 86 videos were collected from the 100 most viewed videos under three hashtags: #ibd, #crohns, #colitis. The analysis focused on themes, video metrics, characteristics, and quality using the modified DISCERN tool and Global Quality Scale. All videos were made by individuals with IBD, and 83% were personal narratives. Eight main themes emerged: ostomy, advocacy, disease management, interactions with the healthcare system, symptoms, social relationships, negative impact of IBD, and complications. The median DISCERN and global quality scores were 1.00 (interquartile range [IQR]: 1.00), and 2.00 (IQR: 2.00), respectively, indicating poor quality. The main themes may indicate a need for IBD-specific education regarding ostomies, advocacy, and disease management.

Ensuring completeness is critical for its effectiveness. The aim of this study is to explores patient and procedure-related contributors to incomplete colonoscopy in a Danish high volume endoscopy unit. A population-based register study was conducted, using data from electronic health records from a Danish hospital was analyzed, covering all colonoscopies performed between July 2015 and August 2019. The primary outcome assessed was the completeness of the index colonoscopy, with incomplete cases further classified based on the causes for incompleteness that were assessed and documented in real-time by the endoscopist. Data also included patient demographics and comorbidities, and profession of the endoscopist. Among 33,128 colonoscopies, prevalence of incomplete colonoscopies was 6.55%, with inadequate bowel preparation as the leading cause (60.3%). Men were more prone to inadequate bowel preparation, while procedural pain, non-passability, and stenosis were associated with women. Physician endoscopists exhibited higher incomplete colonoscopy rates compared to nurse endoscopists, and patients with higher comorbidity scores were more likely to have incomplete colonoscopy. This study highlights the prevalence of incomplete colonoscopy and recognizes modifiable risk factors like inadequate bowel preparation and procedural pain. Findings underscore the need for personalized interventions, stressing ongoing endoscopist education and targeted strategies to improve colonoscopy effectiveness.</p>","PeriodicalId":12666,"journal":{"name":"Gastroenterology Nursing","volume":"48 3","pages":"153-160"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144173706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
