Effects of Interdisciplinary Collaborative Nursing on Hemodialysis Compliance in Patients With Chronic Renal Failure: A Retrospective Analysis.

AIMS/

BACKGROUND

Hemodialysis is the primary form of treatment for patients with chronic renal failure. The lengthy dialysis process and rigid treatment schedule often lead to poor patient adherence. This study aims to explore the effects of interdisciplinary collaborative nursing and routine nursing on hemodialysis compliance in patients with chronic renal failure.

METHODS

This retrospective analysis included clinical data of 136 patients with chronic renal failure who underwent hemodialysis in Zibo Central Hospital from April 2021 to January 2022. The patients were divided into a control group and an observation group according to the type of nursing care given. The control group received routine nursing, whereas the observation group received nursing intervention based on an interdisciplinary collaborative nursing model. Hemodialysis compliance, anxiety, awareness of disease, and health-related quality of life among the patients were evaluated.

RESULTS

Compared to the control group, the observation group exhibited significantly higher levels of hemodialysis compliance and disease knowledge (p < 0.05). The anxiety level of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group (8.04 ± 5.06 vs. 12.49 ± 4.87; p < 0.001). In terms of quality of life, the observation group scored higher than the control group in physical, psychological, social, and environmental domains (p < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

The interdisciplinary collaborative nursing enhances hemodialysis compliance in patients with chronic renal failure, ameliorates their anxiety, and improves their health-related quality of life. This research provides a theoretical basis for the design and selection of clinical management plans in the future.
