ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis ( CAPD) and daytime ambulatory perito-neal dialysis ( DAPD) on sleep quality. Methods This is a multi-center cross-sectional survey, we used the Pittsburgh Sleep Index Scale ( PSQI) ,the unified investigating time, the organized trained peritoneal dialysis nurses qualified to conduct research full-time. Survey content includes general information, sleep index, laboratory tests, dialysis adequacy and other indicators, and the results were pooled analysis. Results A total of eight hospitals of 325 patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis were included in this study,which CAPD patients and DAPD Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Scale scores were 6.88 ±2.43,6.71 ±2.69, the difference was not statisti-cally significant (P>0.01).DAPD patients had a lower sleep efficiency than CAPD patients, but it had no difference between subjec-tive feeling, CAPD patients were more likely to have more nocturnal cough, snoring and other symptoms and lower quality of life in mental status scores than DAPD patients(P<0.01). Conclusion Sleep quality of peritoneal dialysis patients scored lower than the norm.Dialysis modes have an impact on sleep quality of patients, health care workers should fully assess the physical and mental state of the patients in order to select the appropriate mode of dialysis.
