Most dialysis patients in Taiwan are hemodialysis patients. Long term hemodialysis will cause many side effects and complications which a not only affect patients' life quality but also are important indexes related to causation of death. A survey of the satisfaction rate of nursing instruction for the hemodialysis in our unit only reached 54.3%; therefore, this project aims to improve the knowledge and skill of patient's self care and to increase patient's satisfaction concerning our nursing instruction. We developed nursing guideline for long term hemodialysis patient to upgrade our service quality and complete our nursing guidelines. From July 2005 to April 2006, we published a nursing guideline hand book, and self-study VCDs. We also provided personal instruction to 173 long term hemodialysis patients from our unit. Results: the integrity of nursing instruction increased from 58% to 91%. The patient’s satisfaction rate increased from 54.3% to 83%; both of these reached the goal of this project. During the time of our project, we received wide support from our patients and supervisors. Even though our project is finished, we continue to use this guideline and hope to extend it to every relevant department and hospital. |
