An observation on patients' evaluations and nurses' involvements
Abstract:
From 160 patients receiving hemodialysis treatment (HD) at this dialysis center, information was obtained by questionnaire as to the patients' feeling towards the nurses' presence and demands for nurses, and a study was made on the nurses' future relations with patients. The result showed that more than one half of the patients took the nurses' presence as "understanding and cooperating persons in life." On the other hand, while demand for nurses was first "gentleness and sympathy", fuller "knowledge and technique" became more notable in the extended period of dialysis. Also patients' evaluations of nurses were severer for patients of the longer dialytic history. Therefore, we would like to carry out care with more emphasis on nurse/patient relations to meet patients' demand according the respective dialytic history.
