{Abstract}: <B>OBJECTIVE: </B>To investigate whether the child-centered treatment significantly increased satisfaction as revealed by CBCL scores and decreased duration of nasal endoscopy.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>A total of 206 pediatric patients were selected as study participants. Using a random number table, the participants were divided into the control group and the treatment group, with 103 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing care, whereas the treatment group received child-centered health education nursing intervention. The differences between the two groups were observed in four aspects: examination compliance, child behavior checklist (CBCL) scores, the satisfaction level of the patient's family with the nurses in the endoscopy room, and the average duration of the nasal endoscopy.<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>Subsequent to the implementation of the intervention, it was observed that within the treatment group, the level of compliance among pediatric patients undergoing nasal endoscopy exhibited a statistically significant increase when compared to the control group; the CBCL scores of both groups were lower than those before nursing care, and those of the treatment group were statistically significantly lower than those of the control group; the satisfaction rate of the patient's family in two groups was 74 % and 90 %, respectively. The average duration of nasal endoscopy was statistically significantly lower in the treatment group than that in the control group.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>The implementation of a child-centered health education nursing intervention for pediatric patients undergoing nasal endoscopy has been shown to effectively mitigate instances of crying and screaming, enhance patient compliance, reduce examination duration, and elevate the overall satisfaction levels among their respective families.
