The effect of mindfulness-based stress reduction on renal function and quality of life in uremic hemodialysis patients / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To construct a mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) intervention program suitable for uremic hemodialysis patients, and analyze the impact of the program on renal function and quality of life in uremic hemodialysis patients.Methods:This was a randomized controlled trial. The convenience sampling method was used to select 92 uremic patients who underwent hemodialysis in the First People's Hospital of Lianyungang City from March 2018 to March 2019. They were divided into routine group (46 cases, routine care) and MBSR group (46 cases, MBSR of face-to-face guidance combined with WeChat platform supervision) by random number table method. Both groups were intervened for 8 weeks. The Chinese version of the European Five-Dimensional Scale (EQ-5D-3L) was used to evaluate the quality of life of the patients, and the quality of life of the two groups before and after the intervention was compared; and the blood creatinine (Scr) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urea nitrogen (BUN), cystatin C (CysC) levels of the two groups before and after the intervention were analyzed.Results:Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in the levels of Scr, eGFR, BUN, and CysC between the two groups ( P>0.05); after 8 weeks of intervention, the levels of Scr, eGFR, BUN, and CysC were (201.81±14.77) μmol/L, (35.30 ± 2.02) ml/min and (11.47 ± 2.66) mmol/L, (2.41 ± 0.28) mg/L in the MBSR group, (218.37 ± 14.90) μmol/L, (33.99 ± 1.95) ml/min, (12.50 ± 0.76) mmol/L, (2.76 ± 0.30) mg/L in the routine group, the differences were statistically significant between the two groups ( t values were 2.53-5.79, all P<0.05). Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in EQ-5D-3L scores between the two groups ( P>0.05); after 8 weeks of intervention, the pain (discomfort), anxiety (depression), Vasual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores were (1.17 ± 0.34), (1.02 ± 0.35), (88.57 ± 20.28) points in the MBSR group, and (1.46 ± 0.63), (1.30 ± 0.32), (62.69 ± 18.79) points in the routine group, the differences were statistically significant between the two groups ( t=2.75, 4.00, 6.35, all P<0.05). Scr level was negatively correlated with self-care, pain (discomfort), anxiety (depression), mobility, daily activity ability, and VAS ( r values were -0.481 - -0.214, all P<0.05); eGFR level was positively correlated with self-care, pain (discomfort), anxiety (depression), mobility, daily activity ability, and VAS ( r values were 0.199-0.492, all P<0.05). But BUN and CysC levels were not correlated with EQ-5D-3L score (all P>0.05). Conclusions:MBSR can effectively improve the renal function and quality of life of uremic hemodialysis patients, and it is worthy of clinical application.
