ABSTRACT
Objective To study the influence of different bed rest time on orthostatic hypotension,and explore a feasible and appropriate bed rest time for elderly patients after hemodialysis.Methods 58 elderly patients with regular hemodialysis were selected from January 2011 to May 2012.By self-control,they were divided into three groups according to different bed rest time:T0 group who got up immediately after the hemodialysis,T10 group who got up after 10-minute bed rest,T20 group who got up after 20-minute bed rest.The incidence of orthostatic hypotension was observed and compared between three groups.Results Compared to T0 group,the incidence of orthostatic hypotension in T10 and T20 groups was significantly reduced.However,no difference was seen between T10 and T20 groups.The acceptability rate in T10 group was 67.24％,higher than 17.24％ of the T20 group.Conclusions Elderly hemodialysis patients should continue to lie down for at least 10 minutes after hemodialysis,and then slowly get up,this measure can reduce the occurrence of orthostatic hypotension.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the emotional support and quality of life of patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. Method Ninty six patients with maintenance hemodialysis patients involved the investigation of emotional support and quality of life using the Family Care Index and Life Scale.Results The total score of the patients on emotional support was(5.80±3.80).Among them, 27 of the cases(28.13%)were scored higher,45 of the cases(46.88%)were at medium level and 24 of the cases(25.00%)were at lower level. The score on quality of life of all the patients was(176.41±18.26),with all the factors ranked from high to low score: health and function, life satisfaction degree,self concept and social and economic conditions.Conclusions Emotional support and quality of life in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis needs improvement.Higher emotional support is good for the improved quality of life.
