Objective To investigate and analyze the clinical application effects of integrated Chinese-Western medicine therapy in the treatment and nursing care of spleen-stomach diseases, and evaluate its advantages in improving patients' clinical symptoms, enhancing quality of life, and promoting rehabilitation. Methods A total of 36 patients with spleen and stomach disorders admitted to our hospital from 2018 to 2023 were selected as subjects. Using a random number table method, the patients were evenly divided into control and observation groups. The control group received standardized Western medical treatment and nursing support, while the observation group received combined traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation therapy (TCM herbal decoctions/prescription) and TCM-specific nursing techniques. Clinical efficacy was compared in terms of overall effective rate, TCM syndrome scores, gastrointestinal symptom scores (GSRS), quality of life scores (SF-36), and nursing satisfaction. Results The observation group achieved a clinical overall effective rate of 95.0%, significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05). Post-treatment evaluations showed marked reductions in TCM syndrome scores and GSRS scores across both groups, with greater improvement observed in the observation group (P<0.05). The observation group demonstrated superior improvements in SF-36 dimensions including physical function, somatic pain, overall health, and vitality compared to the control group. Nursing satisfaction rates were significantly different between groups: 96.7%vs 83.3%, P<0.05. Conclusion The combined therapy and nursing mode of Chinese and western medicine can significantly improve the clinical efficacy of spleen and stomach disease, effectively relieve patients' symptoms, improve their quality of life, and enhance the satisfaction of nursing, which is worth further promotion and application in clinical practice.
