Individual nursing improves self-management ability of renal failure hemodialysis patients

Objective: To explore the application value of individual nursing mode in hemodialysis patients with renal failure. Methods: Renal failure patients treated by hemodialysis in the department of nephrology of our hospital were collected and divided into two groups. Patients in the research group (n=146) received individual nursing intervention, while patients in the regular group (n=130) received routine nursing intervention. The self-management ability, renal function index (SCr, BUN) and quality of life of the two groups were compared. The renal function indexes of the two groups of patients before and after nursing intervention were recorded. Results: Before nursing intervention, there was no differences in the renal function indexes between the two groups of patients (P>0.05). After intervention, the levels of SCr and BUN decreased significantly in both groups (P<0.05), while the levels of SCr and BUN in the research group were slightly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The self-management ability and quality of life scores of both groups were improved, while the self-management ability score and quality of life score of the research group were higher than those of the regular group (P<0.05). Compared with the negative emotions of the two groups, the anxiety and depression of both groups were significantly reduced after nursing intervention (P<0.05), with more obvious effects in the research group. The nursing satisfaction of the two groups was calculated, and the satisfaction of the research group was higher than that of the regular group (93.83% VS 85.38%, P<0.05). Conclusion: For hemodialysis patients with renal failure, individual nursing intervention has better application effects than regular nursing in reducing negative emotions, improving self-management ability, and improving quality of life.
