Background:The increased calcium -phosphorus product in dialysis patients will lead to hyperparathyroidism,vascular calcification and increase mortality. Statistics from January to June 2018, the ratio of calcium - phosphorus products less than 60 mg²/dL² averaged 73.2% of patients with peritoneal dialysis, which did not reach the threshold and was lower than the health care monitoring standard, so the engine was cited.
Purpose:This project aims to reduce the calcium - phosphorus product of peritoneal dialysis patients to reach the standard 75%.
Resolution:We analyzed and established that the problems were inadequate patient awareness of the disease, insufficient knowledge of dietary intake, poor compliance with medication, and insufficient aids. The intervention measures include providing trend chart of blood phosphorus test, group health education, high phosphorus audio-visual teaching, mobile phone query APP and establishment of Line group.
Results:After the promotion of the project, the ratio of calcium-phosphorus product less than 60 mg²/dL² increased from 72.8% in June 2018 to 82.2% in January 2019, which has reached the threshold and health care monitoring standards.
Conclusion:This project uses group health education, audio-visual teaching and mobile devices to strengthen patient’s self-care ability, which can effectively improve of nursing guidance to improve the quality of care.
