Abstract:
Objective:To explore the status quo of palliative care needs of patients with end-stage heart failure, and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. From December 2019 to December 2020, convenience sampling was used to select 83 patients with end-stage heart failure in a Heart Failure Treatment Center of a Class Ⅲ Grade A hospital in Qingdao as the research object. The General Information Questionnaire and the Palliative Care Needs Scale for Patients with End-stage Heart Failure were used to investigate the patients. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors. A total of 83 questionnaires were distributed and 76 valid questionnaires were returned with the valid response rate of 91.57%.Results:Among 76 patients with end-stage heart failure, the total score of the Palliative Care Needs Scale for Patients with End-stage Heart Failure was (110.87±20.77) , of which the information needs dimension score (29.61±6.69) was the highest. The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the serum sodium concentration, the number of comorbidities, and the educational background were the influencing factors of the palliative care needs of patients with end-stage heart failure ( P<0.05) , which explained 30.6% of the total variation of the palliative care needs. Conclusions:Patients with end-stage heart failure have a high demand for palliative care. Nursing staff should provide personalized palliative care for patients with end-stage heart failure according to their own characteristics.
