Effect of caregiving burden and coping style for the nurses of continuous renal replacement therapy by motivational interviewing

Abstract

Objective To probe the effect of motivational interviewing(MI) on the caregiving burden and coping style of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) nurses. Methods A total of 60 CRRT nurses were divided into intervention group (30 cases) and control group (30 cases) by random digits table method. The intervention group was given MI measures and the control group was used humane care measures, 6 months later, the differences of the caregiving burden and coping style were compared between the two groups. Results The caregiving burden's level after the intervention of two groups' nurses dropped, the level in the intervention group was lower than that in the control group: (42.02±3.57)points vs. (56.35±4.71) points, and there was significant difference,t=13.280,P<0.05.The positive coping style of two groups CRRT nurses was enhanced and the negative coping style was weakened. The positive coping style's level in the intervention group was higher than that in the control group and the negative coping style's level was lower than that in the control group:(16.56±4.78) points vs. (13.81±1.09) points, (7.73±0.28) points vs. (9.83±0.96) points, the all differences were statistically significant,t=3.071, 11.502,P<0.05. The positive coping style in the intervention group CRRT nurses with their caregiving burden was negatively correlated,r=-0.424,P< 0.01, but whose negative coping style with their caregiving burden was positively correlated,r=0.282,P< 0.05. Conclusions MI is more conductive to reduce the CRRT nurses' caregiving burden, change their way of coping, so that the CRRT nurses will put in greater enthusiasm to work.
