Abstract
Abstract:
Background. Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) is a widespread medical problem commonly accompanied by hypo-proliferative anemia (renal anemia) due to erythropoietin deficiency. Anemia greatly contributes to the reduced Health-related Quality of Life (Hr-QoL). This study aims to evaluate the patients with hemodialysis-induced anemia and the impact of a nurse-led intervention on health-related quality of life. Materials & Methods: Quasi-experiment design was used in carrying out this study. Setting: The study was conducted at the renal dialysis unit at Ain Shams University Hospitals (El Demerdash Hospital), Cairo, Egypt. Subjects: select patients undergoing hemodialysis with selected criteria. Tools: (1) Structured Interview Questionnaire for Hemodialysis; it included (a) Socio-demographic characteristics of patient; (b) Patient assessment to determine patient’s history (past, present, surgical and family) as well as hemodialysis. (c) Patient assessment sheet to assess anemia; (2) Kidney Diseases and Quality of Life (KDQOL TM- 36). The Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KDQOL) survey is a kidney disease-specific measure of Hr-QoL (3) Patient’s Assessment knowledge Questionnaire; included “dialysis, anemia, and complications”. Results: there were statistical significance related to level of Hgb, WBC and ferritin level. As regards patient’s Hr-QoL pre and post-study, it resulted that highly statistical significance related to physical and mental component summary while no statistical significance related to burden of kidney disease, symptoms and problem, effects of kidney disease on patient’s daily life. There was highly statistically significance difference according to patient’s knowledge after a nurse-led intervention, no correlation between Hr-QoL and patient’s knowledge. Conclusion: A Nurse-led intervention seems effective to improve some parameters of Hr-QoL for hemodialysis – induced anemia patients as a physical and mental component summary. There are highly statically significant related to the satisfactory patient’s knowledge. Recommendation: Application and generalization for nurse-led intervention as Arabic booklet instruction for the new patient with hemodialysis
