Abstract:
Objective:To determine the status of nutritional literacy and its influencing factors among the peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Methods:The patients who underwent PD and long-term follow-up in the Department of Nephrology,General Hospital of Eastern Theater Command between January and October,2023 were enrolled in this study. The status of nutritional literacy in the patients was assessed through collecting and analyzing the data on the patients' general information,the current nutritional status,and laboratory-and dialysis-related indicators. Results:The average score of nutritional literacy in the enrolled patients were (24.49±3.35). Significant differences in nutritional literacy scoring were observed in the different patient subgroups according to the patients' educational background,dialysis time or times of receiving multidisciplinary diet guidance (all P values<0.05). The nutritional literacy levels of PD patients were negatively correlated to the concentrations of serum calcium and prealbumin,and left ventricular posterior wall thickness,and postively correlated to prealbumin level(P<0.05). Basing on multiple linear regression analysis,the times of receiving multidisciplinary diet guidance,educational background and serum prealbumin level were identified as independent influencing factors for the nutritional literacy levels in PD patients,respectively (all P values<0.05). Conclusions:The present study showed that the nutritional literacy of PD patients was in the middle level. In clinical practice,to enhance multidisciplinary diet guidance and management at the early stage of PD could contribute to improve the nutritional status of PD patients. In addition,to increase the patients' nutritional knowledge and health management ability might be also helpful for the nutritional levels of PD patients.
