Summary
This summary is machine-generated.The Community-Hospital-Family Interactive Management (CHFIM) Model significantly reduced social isolation in elderly hemodialysis patients. This intervention also improved social support and decreased loneliness and depression.
Area Of Science
- Gerontology
- Nephrology
- Public Health
Background
- Elderly patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis are at high risk for social isolation.
- Effective interventions are needed to improve the psychosocial well-being of this population.
- The Community-Hospital-Family Interactive Management (CHFIM) Model was developed to address these needs.
Purpose Of The Study
- To evaluate the impact of the CHFIM Model on social isolation in elderly patients on maintenance hemodialysis.
- To assess the effects of the CHFIM Model on social support, loneliness, depression, and family function.
- To determine the efficacy of an integrated care approach for vulnerable elderly patients.
Main Methods
- A controlled trial involving 160 elderly maintenance hemodialysis patients was conducted.
- Patients were randomized into a control group (routine care) and an intervention group (CHFIM Model).
- Social network level, social support, loneliness, and depression were assessed before and after the intervention.
Main Results
- The intervention group demonstrated a significant improvement in social network level compared to the control group.
- Significant enhancements in social support and reductions in loneliness and depression were observed in the intervention group.
- The CHFIM Model showed statistically significant positive effects on key psychosocial outcomes (p < 0.05).
Conclusions
- The CHFIM Model is an effective strategy for mitigating social isolation in elderly hemodialysis patients.
- This integrated care model positively impacts the physical and mental health of elderly patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.
- The CHFIM Model offers a promising approach to enhance the quality of life for this patient demographic.

The nursing management of a patient undergoing hemodialysis includes several critical steps, starting with a thorough assessment before the procedure.Before the Hemodialysis ProcedureFirst, record the patient's vital signs—blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature—to establish a baseline. This baseline is essential for detecting conditions such as hypotension that could impact the patient's response to dialysis. Document the patient's pre-dialysis weight, as this...
DialyzersA hemodialysis (HD) dialyzer is a plastic cartridge containing thousands of parallel hollow fibers, which serve as semipermeable membranes. These fibers are typically made from cellulose-based or other synthetic materials. During HD, blood is pumped into the top of the cartridge and distributed among these fibers. Simultaneously, dialysis fluid, known as dialysate, is introduced into the bottom of the cartridge, bathing the outside of the fibers. Across the semipermeable membrane,...
Hemodialysis (HD) is a medical treatment that artificially removes waste products, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood when the kidneys are no longer able to perform these functions effectively. In this process, blood is filtered through a semipermeable membrane, allowing for the selective removal of waste while preserving necessary components like blood cells and proteins. Hemodialysis is typically performed in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or severe kidney...
Nursing management is essential for preventing complications, maintaining stability, and improving patients' quality of life in chronic kidney disease (CKD). By using a structured approach, nurses help slow CKD progression and support effective patient care.1. Comprehensive patient assessmentEffective management begins with nurses reviewing the patient’s medical history, and identifying key risk factors like diabetes, hypertension, and nephrotoxic drug use. Nurses assess signs of...
Peritoneal dialysis, or PD, utilizes the peritoneal membrane as a filter to eliminate excess fluid and waste products. Effective nursing management is essential for ensuring patient safety, preventing complications, and promoting optimal function of the peritoneal dialysis process.Assessment and MonitoringNurses must thoroughly assess the patient before, during, and after each dialysis session. Regular monitoring includes vital signs, daily weight, fluid intake and output, and laboratory values...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires collaborative and comprehensive management. CKD progresses through stages and can lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) if untreated. Interprofessional collaboration and patient education are crucial, enabling patients to manage their health and improve their quality of life.Diagnostic approach for chronic kidney diseaseThe diagnosis of CKD primarily focuses on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which assesses kidney function by measuring how well...
