ABSTRACT
Objective:To understand the knowledge, attitude and behavior of volume management of maintenance hemodialysis patients, so as to provide a basis for standardizing volume management and carrying out refined individual care.Methods:By means of convenience sampling, 608 patients from 4 hospitals who received regular dialysis treatment in Xuzhou and Yancheng hemodialysis rooms in October 2021 were selected as subjects. Patients were surveyed by a self-designed knowledge questionnaires of volume management, Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients′ Capacity Management Behavior Scale and Self-Efficacy Scale. Questionnaires were collected through the questionnaire star.Results:A total of 608 valid questionnaires were collected. The knowledge dimension scored 8.21 ± 2.27 , atitude dimension scored 7.36 ± 2.06 and behavior dimension scored 15.07 ± 4.22. Multiplelinear regression analysis showed that age, dialysis age and self-care ability were predictors of volume management knowledge score ( t=-2.07, 2.35, -3.90, all P<0.05 ). Medical insurance type was a predictor of volume management attitude score ( t=-2.17, P<0.05). Education level was a predictor of volume management behavior score ( t=3.04, P<0.05). Conclusions:The capacity management knowledge and capacity management attitude of maintenance hemodialysis patients is in the medium level, but with poor volume management executive ability. It is suggested that medical staff carry out health education related to volume management according to different characteristics of patients, and effectively improve patients′ volume management ability.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the distribution of pathogens and positive alarming time of blood culture,and provide basis for laboratory diagnosis and clinical treatment. Methods Blood specimens from clinical departments in a hospital in May-November 2015 were collected,positive alarming time of blood culture was recorded,species of pathogens were identified. Results A total of 157 pathogenic strains were isolated from blood culture specimens, gram-positive cocci,gram-negative bacilli,and fungi accounted for 31 .85% ,57.32% ,and 10.83% respectively. The median positive alarming time were as follows:Enterobacteriaceae 0.50 day,non-fermenting bacteria 0.63 day, Enterococcusspp. 0.60 day,Streptococcusspp. 0.80 day,Staphylococcusspp. 1.01 days,and fungi 1.44 days, respectively. Conclusion Positive alarming time of blood culture specimens from early to late are as follows:Enter-obacteriaceae,Enterococcus,non-fermentative bacteria,Streptococcus spp.,Staphylococcus spp.,and fungus. Positive alarming time of pathogens causing bloodstream infection are all within 4 days,and most of them are within 1 day.
