Background: The blood phosphate value of dialysis patients is closely associated with cardiovascular disease complications and patient mortality. The data was collected between July, 2011, and June, 2012 in our unit. The percentage of dialysis patients with a blood phosphate value over 6.0 mg/dl was 32.2%, higher than the evaluation standard (< 20%) set by the Taiwan Society of Nephrology. Analysis on the causes of hyperphosphatemia produced the following findings: insufficient patient knowledge of disease and dietary intake, low medication compliance, inadequate nursing education tools, incomplete nursing education and a lack of knowledge among nursing personnel. Purpose: Reduce the percentage of dialysis patients with a blood phosphate value of over 6.0 mg/dl. Solution: The existing nursing education mode was improved byproducing dialysis patient contact books, providing a medication pulverization and portable medicine box service, and forming a interdisciplinary team to produce a uniform nursing education toolkit consisting of the nursing education sheet, multimedia CD, care manual, diet handbook and so on. Planning was also carried out on the education and training of nursing staff. Result: After the project was implemented the proportion of dialysis patients with a blood phosphate value over 6.0 mg/dl decreased from 32.2% to 19.6%. Conclusion: The implementation of the project not only improved the blood phosphate value of dialysis patients but also enhanced patient’s knowledge of the disease and dietary intake. Finally, it improved the quality of care for hemodialysis patient at our unit. |
