ABSTRACT

Objective:

To explore the clinical effect of "information knowledge belief practice" model, namely "IKAP theory" nursing intervention model on patients with peritoneal dialysis(PD).

Methods:

The clinical data of 120 patients with PD treated in The Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from January 2020 to December 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 60 cases in each group. In the observation group, there were 32 males and 28 females with an age range of (56.16±10.25) years, including 18 cases of diabetic nephropathy, 22 cases of chronic glomerulonephritis and 20 cases of hypertensive nephropathy. In the control group, there were 34 males and 26 females, with an age range of (56.27±10.34) years, including 14 cases of diabetic nephropathy, 18 cases of chronic glomerulonephritis and 28 cases of hypertensive nephropathy. The patients in the control group were given routine nursing. In addition to the routine nursing, the patients in the observation group also adopted IKAP mode for nursing intervention. The levels of hemoglobin (HB), serum albumin (ALB), comprehensive nutrition assessment score (SGA) and nursing satisfaction of the two groups were compared before and 6 months after the intervention. The comparison of measurement data before and after intervention in the intervention group was analyzed by paired sample t-test. Frequency data were compared and analyzed by Chi-square ( χ2) test.

Results:

Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in ALB, Hb levels and SGA between the observation group and the control group( t=1.001~1.743, all P>0.05). After the intervention, the SGA score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group, while the levels of ALB and Hb were higher than those of the control group, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( t=3.411~5.050, all P<0.05). The satisfaction of patients in the observation group was 95%, while that in the control group was 78.33%, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=7.212, P<0.05).

Conclusions:

For peritoneal dialysis patients, IKAP nursing intervention can not only effectively improve their nutritional status, but also increase their satisfaction with nursing. IKAP nursing intervention model is worthy of clinical promotion.
