Analysis on the correlation between self-perceived burden, self-efficacy and emotion of anxiety and depression among patients with end-stage renal disease

Abstract

Objective To explore the relationships between self-perceived burden (SPB) , self-efficacy and the emotion of anxiety and depression among patients with end-stage renal disease to provide references for nurses to implement psychological nursing and provide the corresponding nursing measures for patients. Methods A total of 296 patients with end-stage renal disease were chosen by convenience sampling method.The relationships between self-perceived burden, self-efficacy and the emotion of anxiety and depression among patients with end-stage renal disease were investigated by self-perceived burden scale, the general self-efficacy scale and the hospital anxiety and depression scale. Results 96.62% of the patients with end-stage renal disease beard the self-perceived burden and the mean score of SPB was (29.75±5.41)points, which was at the middle level.The mean score of self-efficacy of patients was(16.04±2.96)points, which was below the middle level, and the self-efficacy was negatively correlated with SPB (P<0.05).39.19% of the patients were possibly or certainly suffering from anxiety, 41.89% of the patients were possibly or certainly suffering from depression.The emotion of anxiety and depression was positively correlated with SPB(P<0.05). Conclusion The self-perceived burden of patients with end-stage renal disease was shown different degree of correlation with self-efficacy and the emotion of anxiety and depression.The nurses can improve patients' self-efficacy and reduce the emotion of anxiety and depression through motivation and psychological counseling to alleviate SPB of patients.
