Abstract:
This study was designed to investigate the effects of nonpharmacological integrated care protocols on fatigue in patients with hemodialysis. This parallel randomized controlled trial was conducted on patients undergoing hemodialysis from May to October 2020 at the Dialysis Center of the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University. The patients were randomized into an intervention group (accepting nonpharmacological integrated care protocols and standard care) or a control group (accepting standard care only) using a computer-generated random number. The nonpharmacological holistic care intervention used in this study involved a well-rounded multidisciplinary team that worked together to improve dietary compliance, medication adherence, and self-management to improve patients' care and promote self-management. From the 120 evaluated patients, 116 cases were eligible and analyzed. The results showed that patients from the intervention group had obviously reduced overall fatigue, mental fatigue, and muscular fatigue relative to the control group. The nonpharmacological integrated care protocols were interactive and promotive to each other. Meanwhile, the role and function of nurses in the management of chronic disease were demonstrated to be crucial.
