Effect of multidisciplinary collaborations in control of peritoneal dialysis patients with hypertension

Abstract

Objective To explore the application effect of the multidisciplinary collaborations in control of peritoneal dialysis patients with hypertension. Methods A total of 220 cases of peritoneal dialysis patients divided into experimental group and control group (each group had 110 cases) according to the random number table. In which, the control group received routine capacity control and health education with a total of 105 patients finished the study. The experimental group received of multidisciplinary collaborations on the basis of routine capacity control and health education with a total of 107 patients finished the study. Observe changes with knowledge of drugs, medication compliance, self-management behavior and blood pressure of patients before and after the intervention respectively. Results In experimental group, the scores of drug knowledge, medication compliance and self-management behaviors were (0.93±0.49), 0.00 (0.00, 0.25), (2.69±0.25) points before the intervention, 6 months after the intervention were (1.17±0.54), 0.25 (0.00, 0.50), (2.86±0.15) points, the difference between the groups was statistically significant (t=38.60, Z=4.34, t= 2.45, P 0.05), there were statistically significant differences in self-management behavior (t=6.23, P 0.05); there was significant difference between the 2 groups after intervention (t=4.11, Z=4.03, t=4.34, P 0.05); 6 months after the intervention there was significant difference between the 2 groups (t=2.22, 2.72, P < 0.05 or 0.01). Conclusions Multidisciplinary collaborations have a significant role in patients with peritoneal dialysis, especially in blood pressure control, medication compliance and self-management behavior.
