摘要

Objective

To investigate the multiple effects of interactive video health intervention on the quality of life and clinical rehabilitation indexes of patients with early intestinal obstruction.

Methods

This study included two phases: (1) questionnaire validation (January 2019–December 2020): 152 patients with early postoperative bowel obstruction were enrolled to develop and test the reliability/validity of the Postoperative Quality of Life Assessment Scale for Early Intestinal Obstruction. (2) Randomized controlled trial (January 2021–January 2025): 310 eligible patients (18–75 years, basic cognitive ability, diagnosed with early postoperative bowel obstruction after abdominal surgery) were randomly assigned to a control group (conventional care: condition monitoring, basic treatment, and non-structured health education, n = 132) or a study group (conventional care plus an interactive video health intervention—5 modular videos covering disease knowledge, rehabilitation, and diet, initiated 24 h post-surgery, n = 178). Outcomes included QoL (via the validated scale), clinical rehabilitation indicators (obstruction relief time, hospitalization duration), electrogastrogram parameters, and gut microbiota diversity (16S rRNA sequencing).

Results

The validated QoL scale had good reliability (Cronbach’s α = 0.821–0.937) and validity (AVE > 0.5, CR > 0.7). In the trial, the study group showed significantly better QoL scores (physiological function: 13.82 ± 5.67 vs. 22.45 ± 3.57; total score: 50.60 ± 6.44 vs. 36.67 ± 7.93; P < 0.001) and clinical outcomes (hospitalization duration: 8.78 ± 1.39 vs. 10.13 ± 1.41 days; P < 0.001) than the control group. The study group also had improved electrogastrogram parameters (e.g., gastric antrum slow-wave amplitude: 194.59 ± 20.76 vs. 151.34 ± 21 µV; P < 0.001) and intestinal microbiota evenness (Shannon index: P = 0.0070) compared to the control group.

Conclusion

The disease-specific QoL scale is valid for assessing patients with early postoperative bowel obstruction. The interactive video health intervention effectively improves their QoL and clinical rehabilitation, providing a feasible clinical tool.
