This study focuses on improving the care provided to Alzheimer's patients during specialized imaging tests called PET/CT scans. Researchers aim to determine if a more detailed and personalized nursing intervention can enhance the quality of the images taken and increase the satisfaction of patients with Alzheimer's disease. Two groups of patients will be compared: one receiving regular nursing care and another receiving specialized nursing interventions. The study involves 200 participants and takes place at Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital. Participants in this study will undergo PET imaging, a type of scan that helps visualize brain activity. Those in the observation group will receive a refined nursing approach, potentially involving more personalized care or attention, while the control group will receive standard nursing care. The study will compare image quality and patient satisfaction between the two groups to see if the specialized care makes a difference. This could lead to better imaging results and more positive experiences for Alzheimer's patients during these scans.
