Abstract
Objective To investigate the application and effect of the nurse-led “outpatient-ward-home” management model in the care of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods 120 patients with CKD admitted to our hospital between April 2020 and April 2021 were selected as trial subjects. All patients were divided into experimental and control groups according to the random number table method, with 60 cases in each group. The patients in the experimental group implemented the nurse-led “outpatient-ward-home” management model; the patients in the control group were given routine care and telephone follow-up. The self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score, self-management scores, nutritional status, renal function indicators, and chronic renal failure quality of life scale (QLICD-CRF2.0) were compared between the two groups before and 6 months after the intervention. Results Before the intervention, there were no statistically significant differences between the control and experimental groups in SAS, SDS, PSQI scores, self-management scores, QLICD-CRF2.0 scores, body mass index (BMI), prealbumin (PAb), albumin (ALB), serum creatinine (Scr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) levels (P > 0.05). After 6 months of intervention, SAS, SDS, PSQI scores, Scr, BUN, and GFR levels were lower in the experimental group than in the control group; self-management scores, QLICD-CRF2.0 scores, BMI, PAb, and ALB levels were higher in the experimental group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The nurse-led “outpatient-ward-family” intervention model can improve the negative emotions and sleep disorders of CKD patients, enhance patients' self-management ability, and to a certain extent, slow down the disease process and improve the quality of life.
