ABSTRACT
Nephrology nurses struggle to support patients on hemodialysis who experience needle fear due to absence of adequate programs or guidelines. Therefore, we have designed an educational intervention for nurses to learn techniques and strategies to support patients with needle fear and review best cannulation practices with minimal trauma to improve patients' experience of dialysis. A pre-post design measured self-reported confidence in nurses' ability to support patients on dialysis who have a fear of needles. We found nurses can benefit from targeted educational interventions that provide information and strategies regarding needle fear management. Findings from this study have a potential to be transferred to other chronic disease settings with frequent needle use.
