Objective  To explore the effect of TCM syndrome differentiation combined with dietary intervention for peptic ulcer patients with Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection.

  Methods  A total of 248 patients with Hp-infected peptic ulcer were enrolled in the study, and were randomly divided into control group and study group according to the random number table method, with 124 cases per group. The control group implemented routine nursing measures, and the study group was given TCM syndrome differentiation combined with dietary intervention. After 1 month, the treatment effects, compliance rates, and care satisfaction of the two groups were compared.

  Results  After nursing, the total effective rate of the study group was 92.74%, which was significantly higher than 76.61% of the control group (P < 0.05). The total compliance rate of the study group was 96.77%, which was significantly higher than 87.10% of the control group(P < 0.05). The nursing satisfaction of the study group was 91.94%, which was significantly higher than 74.19% of the control group(P < 0.05).

  Conclusion  TCM syndrome differentiation combined with dietary intervention is effective for patients with Hp-infected peptic ulcer, and has higher compliance rate and nursing satisfaction.
