Abstract:
Objective:To summarize the best evidence for thirst care management in maintenance hemodialysis patients.Methods:Literature on thirst management in maintenance hemodialysis patients was systematically searched in UpToDate, BMJ Best Practice, Australian Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence-Based Health Care Center database, National Guideline Clearinghouse, Medlive, PubMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang data, and other databases or websites, including clinical decisions, best practice, evidence summaries, guidelines, expert consensus, systematic reviews, and randomized controlled trials. The search period was from the establishment of the databases to July 1, 2023. Two researchers independently evaluated the quality of the literature and extracted and summarized the evidence.Results:A total of 18 articles were included, including six clinical decisions, three guidelines, one evidence summary, one systematic review, and seven randomized controlled trials. Thirty-eight of the best pieces of evidence were summarized from four aspects, including thirst assessment, risk factors for thirst, prevention and mitigation strategies, and educational management.Conclusions:This study summarizes the best evidence for thirst management in maintenance hemodialysis patients and recommends that healthcare professionals apply evidence based on clinical context and patient willingness.
