Validation of the nursing interventions and activities for patients on hemodialytic therapy

Experience of humanistic nursing in hemodialysis nursing for patients with diabetic kidney disease

BACKGROUND

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a prevalent complication of diabetes that often requires hemodialysis for treatment. In the field of nursing, there is a growing recognition of the importance of humanistic care, which focuses on the holistic needs of patients, including their emotional, psychological, and social well-being. However, the application of humanistic nursing in the context of hemodialysis for DKD patients remains relatively unexplored.

AIM

To explore the experience of humanistic nursing in hemodialysis nursing for DKD patients.

METHODS

Ninety-six DKD patients treated with hemodialysis from March 2020 to June 2022 were included in the study and divided into the control cluster (48 cases) and the study cluster (48 cases) according to different nursing methods; the control cluster was given routine nursing and the study cluster was given humanized nursing. The variances of negative emotion mark, blood glucose, renal function, the incidence of complications, life mark and nursing satisfaction before and after nur-sing were contrasted between the two clusters.

RESULTS

No significant difference in negative emotion markers between the two clusters were observed before nursing (P > 0.05), and the negative emotion markers of the two clusters decreased after nursing. The Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale markers were lower in the study cluster than the control cluster. The healing rate of patients in the study cluster was significantly higher than the control cluster (97.92% vs 85.42%, P < 0.05). Blood glucose parameters were not significantly different between the groups prior to nursing (P > 0.05). However, after nursing, blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine (SCr) levels in the study cluster were lower than those in the control cluster (P < 0.05). The incidence rate of complications was significantly lower in the study group compared to the control cluster (6.25% vs 20.83%, P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the life markers between the two clusters before nursing. While the life markers increased after nursing for both groups, the 36-item health scale markers in the study cluster were higher than those within the control cluster (P < 0.05). Finally, the nursing satisfaction rate was 93.75% in the study cluster, compared to 75% in the control cluster (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

In hemodialysis for DKD patients, the implementation of humanistic nursing achieved ideal results, effectively reducing patients' psychological negative emotion markers so that they can actively cooperate with the diagnosis and nursing, facilitate the control of blood glucose and the maintenance of residual renal function, reduce the occurrence of complications, and finally enhance the life quality and nursing satisfaction of patients. It is worthy of being widely popularized and applied.

Indicadores clínicos da Nursing Outcomes Classification para avaliar o paciente submetido à biópsia renal percutânea

Objetivos: selecionar indicadores clínicos dos resultados de Enfermagem Coagulação Sanguínea (0409), Estado Circulatório (0401), Gravidade da perda de Sangue (0413), Nível de dor (2102) e Estado de Conforto: físico (2010) da Nursing Outcomes Classification e elaborar suas definições conceituais e operacionais para avaliação de pacientes submetidos à biópsia renal percutânea. Método: estudo de consenso de especialistas realizado em um hospital universitário do Sul do Brasil. A amostra foi de 12 especialistas. A coleta de dados ocorreu por meio de formulário eletrônico no Google Forms, no qual foram listados os indicadores clínicos a serem selecionados para avaliar pacientes submetidos ao procedimento de biópsia renal. Foram selecionados os indicadores que obtiveram concordância mínima de 80% entre os especialistas. Os dados foram organizados em um quadro para a elaboração das definições de cada indicador. Resultados: foram selecionados 11 indicadores clínicos: sangramento, hematoma, hematúria, pressão arterial sistólica, pressão arterial diastólica, distensão abdominal, palidez da pele e das mucosas, dor relatada, expressões faciais de dor, bem-estar físico e posição confortável. Posteriormente, com base na literatura, foram elaboradas as definições conceituais e operacionais para esses indicadores. Conclusão: os indicadores clínicos selecionados estão em consonância com as possíveis complicações da biópsia renal percutânea descritas na literatura, podendo auxiliar os enfermeiros na avaliação dos pacientes submetidos ao procedimento. Infere-se que as definições conceituais e operacionais reduzem a subjetividade e facilitam avaliações mais acuradas dos pacientes na prática clínica.

Application of the Stratified Nursing Mode of the Prediction Model Constructed Based on Case System Data in the Nursing of Patients with Acute Renal Failure

Objective

To explore the application of the stratified nursing mode of the prediction model constructed based on case system data in the nursing of patients with acute renal failure (ARF).

Methods

A total of 84 patients with ARF confirmed in the hospital were enrolled between February 2020 and February 2022. According to the simple random grouping method, they were divided into an observation group and a control group, 42 cases in each group. The control group was given routine nursing while the observation group was given stratified nursing of the prediction model constructed based on case system data. All were nursed for 2 months.

Results

There was no significant difference in general data such as gender, age, body mass index (BMI), serum creatinine (Scr), hemoglobin (Hb), and albumin between the two groups (P > 0.05). Age >60 years, weight fluctuation >2 kg during dialysis, vascular blockage or infection, coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus, chronic hepatopathy and stroke, bleeding tendency, and neuromuscular abnormalities were high-risk factors for ARF patients, hypertension, thyroid abnormalities, hyperlipidemia, persistent or repeated blood volume overload, and usage of antihypertensive drugs were moderate-risk factors for ARF patients, and nonpermeability dehydration was a low-risk factor of ARF patients. The scores of nursing satisfaction and treatment compliance in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). After 2 months of nursing, scores of SAS, SDS, and SPBS in both the groups were significantly decreased (P < 0.05), which were significantly lower in the observation group than those in the control group (P < 0.05).

Conclusion

The stratified nursing mode of the prediction model constructed based on case system data is conducive to timely and targeted nursing, with high patient satisfaction and cooperation, and a better psychological state.

Lesión renal aguda en el paciente pediátrico: revisión integrativa

Introducción: La lesión renal aguda se ha convertido en una complicación común en los niños hospitalizados, especialmente cuando están en una situación clínica crítica. Objetivo: Conocer y sintetizar la bibliografía científica más actualizada sobre la lesión renal aguda en la población pediátrica. Metodología: Estudio descriptivo de revisión integrativa. La búsqueda de artículos se ha realizado en las bases de datos Pubmed, Scopus y Google Scholar. La estrategia de búsqueda se estableció con los siguientes términos MeSH: ”acute kidney injury”, “children” y “pediatric”. La calidad metodológica se realizó mediante la escala STROBE. Resultados: Se incluyeron 35 artículos, 19 de diseño observacional retrospectivo, 12 observacionales prospectivos, 3 revisiones bibliográficas y 1 estudio cualitativo. No hay variables sociodemográficas destacables que impliquen mayor probabilidad de presentar lesión renal aguda. Tanto la etiología como los factores de riesgo son muy variables. La lesión renal aguda se asocia a mayor número de complicaciones y estancia hospitalaria. No hay evidencia de cuidados enfermeros en la lesión renal aguda en pacientes pediátricos. Conclusiones: Se observa una falta de homogeneidad en los criterios de definición, incidencia, etiología, factores de riesgo y de tratamiento en los pacientes pediátricos con lesión renal aguda, y escasez de artículos originales de investigación. La lesión renal aguda pediátrica se asocia a mayor mortalidad, morbilidad, mayor estancia hospitalaria y mayor duración de la ventilación mecánica. El papel de enfermería en el manejo del tratamiento conservador y de las terapias de reemplazo renal de este cuadro, es fundamental en la supervivencia de estos pacientes.

Study on the Application and Efficacy of Responsibility Nursing in Dialysis Care

Providing high-quality care to patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) is a priority for nurses. The present study was conducted to explore the experiences of the quality of nursing care among patients, nurses, and caregivers in Yanghu Branch of Changzhou Second People's Hospital, China. A total of 120 hemodialysis patients consecutively admitted to Yanghu Branch of Changzhou Second People's Hospital were enrolled and divided into two groups according to the nursing method they received: control group (routine nursing) and experimental group (responsibility nursing). The two cohorts were observed and compared for alterations of adverse emotions and inflammatory factors, the incidence of complications, pre-and post-nursing sleep quality, life quality, and patients' satisfaction with nursing. After nursing, the Self-Rating Anxiety/Depression Scale (SAS/DS) scores were lower in the experimental group (EG) than in the control group (CG) (both P < 0.05). Serum IL-6, hs-CRP, and TNF-α were decreased in both groups after nursing and were even lower in EG (both P < 0.05). EG had significantly improved sleep quality and life quality than CG, with a higher nursing satisfaction (all P < 0.05). This validates that the responsibility nursing for dialysis patients can validly mitigate patients' negative emotions, improve their quality of life, and ensure high-quality dialysis effect, which is feasible for wide popularization and application in clinics.
