Abstract：Objective：To observe the application of auricular point pressing with beans combined with point application on gastrointestinal function recovery after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods：A total of 95 cases of patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were divided into the control group and the observation group according to the random number table method， 47 and 48 cases in each group respectively. Before and after intervention， the changes in scores of gastrointestinal dysfunction，gastrointestinal function recovery，scores of abdominal distension and defecation indexes and quality of life in the two groups were compared. Results：After intervention，the scores of gastrointestinal dysfunction，the anal exhaust time，the recovery time of bowel sounds，the urination time and the defecation time in the observation group were lower than those in the control group， differences being significant(P＜0.05). Before intervention， there was no significant difference being found in the comparison of the scores of abdominal distension，speed of defecation，difficult defecation and shape of feces between the two groups(P＞0.05). After intervention，the scores of abdominal distension， speed of defecation，difficult defecation and shape of feces in the two groups were decreased when compared with those before intervention，and the above scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group，differences being significant(P＜0.05). Before intervention， there was no significant difference being found in the comparison of the scores of social，psychological and body discomforts，satisfaction degree，as well as anxiety and concern between the two groups(P＞0.05). After intervention，the scores of social，psychological and body discomforts，satisfaction degree，as well as anxiety and concern in the two groups were decreased when compared with those before intervention，and the above scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group， differences being significant(P＜0.05). Conclusion： Auricular point pressing with beans combined with point application can effectively reduce the scores of gastrointestinal dysfunction，promote the gastrointestinal function recovery，and improve the levels of abdominal distension and defecation indexes and quality of life.
