Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Most end-stage renal failure patients must undergo hemodialysis before and after kidney transplantation.Noncompliance is common in patients who undergo hemodialysis,and it correlated with mortality.The improvement in self-management behavior is beneficial to the improvement of survival rate and quailty of life of hemodialysis patients.OBJECTIVE:To investigate and analyze the effect of nursing intervention on self-management behavior and health-related quality of life in hemodialysis patients before and after kidney transplantation.DESIGN:A randomized and controlled analysis.SETTING:Department of Nursing and Hemodialysis Center,First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University.PARTICIPANTS:Forty-eight renal failure patients who underwent hemodialysis in the Hemodialysis Center,First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University between February and April 2006 were recruited in this study.The involved patients.including 29 males and 19 females,aged 22-77 years,able to read and write the questionnaires,voluntarily participated in this study.Written informed consents of treatments and investigation items were obtained from each patient.The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the hospital.The involved patients were randomly assigned into 2 groups with 24 patients in each:intervention group and control group.METHODS:Patients in the intervention group were given 6 months of nursing(i.e.according to actual conditions,each patient was given health education by handing out health promoting stuffs,giving individual or centralized guidance as well as other modalities).Patients in the control group were given routine health education.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Self-management behavior and health-related quality of life were assessed before,3 and 6 months after nursing intervention using self-management behavior questionnaire and short-form 36 health survey.RESULTS:Forty-eight patients who underwent hemodialysis participated in the final analysis.There were no significant differences in the total scores of self-management behavior questionnaire and short-form 36 health survey between intervention group and control group before and 3 months after nursing intervention(P＞0.05).Significant difference in the total scores of self-management behavior questionnaire and short-form 36 health survey existed in each group 6 months after nursing intervention in comparison with baseline(P＜0.01,0.05).The total scores of self-management behavior questionnaire of intervention group were significantly increased 6 months after nursing intervention in comparison with the baseline (P＜0.01).CONCLUSION:Nursing intervention markedly improve the self-management behavior and quailty of life of patients who undergo hemodialysis before and after kidney transplantation.
