A multi-center study of different modes of peritoneal dialysis on sleep and quality of life

Abstract

Objective To investigate the continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and daytime ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (DAPD) on sleep and quality of life. Methods In this is a multi-center cross-sectional survey, we used the Pittsburgh Sleep Index Scale (PSQI) and the Chinese version of peritoneal dialysis patient quality of life scale, the unified investigating time, the organized trained peritoneal dialysis nurses qualified to conduct research full-time. Survey content includes general information, sleep and quality of life, laboratory tests, dialysis adequacy and other indicators, and the results were pooled analysis. Results A total of 325 hospitalized peritoneal dialysis patients were included in the study, including 177 patients in CAPD, 148 patients in DAPD. The total scores of QOL, physical function, physical factors, psychological status, social function and life satisfaction were (72.61±10.94), (19.44±3.65), (59.69±7.31), (32.65±5.65), (24.82±6.03), (15.42±5.47)and (74.06±13.59), (20.16±2.95), (58.99±5.86), (34.58±6.17), (25.10±5.01), (15.36±4.28). The score of CAPD in the mental state dimension was significantly lower than that in DAPD patients (t=-3.715, P 0.05). Conclusions Sleep and quality of life in peritoneal dialysis patients are lower than normal adults. Dialysis modes have an impact on sleep and quality of life of patients, health care workers should fully assess the physical and mental state of the patients in order to select the appropriate mode of dialysis.
