RESUMO
Objective: This study aims to analyze the application effect of IMB (Information-Motivation-Behavioral skills) model rehabilitation nursing, which focuses on enhancing patient knowledge, motivation, and skills for disease management in patients with diabetes and end-stage renal disease receiving maintenance hemodialysis and its impact on the patient's nutritional status. Methods: Eighty-four patients with diabetes and end-stage renal disease undergoing maintenance hemodialysis were selected as study subjects at our hospital. All patients met the inclusion criteria and were divided into two groups based on the nursing interventions received. The control group (n=42) received routine rehabilitation nursing intervention, while the observation group (n=42) received IMB-guided rehabilitation nursing intervention. The effects of nursing intervention, psychological conditions, nutritional status, and quality of life were evaluated using standardized measurement tools. Psychological conditions were assessed using the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS). Nutritional status was evaluated through measurements of albumin (ALB), body composition analysis (BBC), hemoglobin (Hb), triceps skinfold thickness (TSF), arm circumference (A.C.), and arm muscle circumference (AMC). Quality of life was assessed using the SF-36 Health Survey. Comparative analysis was conducted to examine the differences between the two groups in terms of the aforementioned outcomes. Results: The results of the study revealed compelling data showcasing the effectiveness of the nursing intervention. Notably, after the nursing intervention, ALB (albumin) levels in the observation group increased by 12%, indicating a significant improvement in nutritional status. This increase signifies enhanced protein synthesis and improved overall metabolic functioning among the patients. Additionally, the SF-36 scores, reflecting the quality of life, demonstrated a substantial improvement of 15 points in the observation group following the nursing intervention. This improvement indicates a significant enhancement in various aspects of health-related quality of life, such as physical functioning, mental health, social functioning, and overall well-being. Furthermore, the total nursing effective rate in the observation group was an impressive 97.62%, surpassing the 80.95% rate in the control group. This statistically significant difference (P < .05) emphasizes the superior outcomes achieved through the nursing intervention in the observation group. Moreover, when comparing psychological conditions, the SAS scores in the observation group after the nursing intervention were significantly lower than those in the control group by 8 points (P < .05). Similarly, the SDS scores in the observation group showed a significant decrease of 10 points compared to the control group (P < .05). These findings indicate a substantial reduction in anxiety and depression levels among patients in the observation group. Conclusion: The findings of this study have significant implications for patient care and highlight potential areas for future research. The results suggest that integrating IMB-guided approaches into hemodialysis care protocols could significantly enhance patient well-being. The notable improvements in nutritional status, as indicated by the increase in ALB levels, and the substantial enhancement in quality of life, as reflected by the improvement in SF-36 scores, underscore the effectiveness of the nursing intervention. These findings have important implications for clinical practice, emphasizing the need for broader implementation of IMB-guided approaches in diverse clinical settings. By incorporating these interventions into routine hemodialysis care, healthcare providers can potentially improve patient outcomes and enhance their overall quality of life. Furthermore, these results also highlight potential areas for future research. Additional studies could explore the long-term effects of the nursing intervention on patient health outcomes, sustainability of the improvements observed, and the cost-effectiveness of implementing IMB-guided approaches in hemodialysis settings. Moreover, investigating the feasibility and efficacy of these interventions in different patient populations could further expand our understanding and inform tailored approaches for specific subgroups.
