ObjectiveTo explore the application and effect of clinical nursing pathway based on information-knowledge-attitude-practice (IKPA) theory in percutaneous renal needle biopsy.MethodsThis is a historical control study. A total of 460 patients who underwent percutaneous renal biopsy in West China Hospital of Sichuan University between April and December 2020 were prospectively recruited as the pathway group, and a clinical nursing pathway based on IKAP theory was implemented. By contrast, the data of 617 patients who underwent percutaneous renal biopsy and received routine care in the same hospital between April and December 2019 were retrospectively collected as the control group. The length of hospital stay, hospitalization expenses, the incidences of postoperative complications (macroscopic haematuria, perirenal hematoma, and acute urinary retention), the incidence of postoperative postural hypotension, and the management enrollment rate of chronic kidney disease patients were compared between the two groups.ResultsThe length of hospital stay [median (lower quartile, upper quartile): 8 (7, 11) vs. 8 (7, 12) d] and the hospitalization expenses [median (lower quartile, upper quartile): 7380.50 (6401.86, 8789.21) vs. 8167.00 (6816.50, 10044.50) yuan] were less in the pathway group than those in the control group, the incidences of postoperative macroscopic haematuria (1.52% vs. 6.97%) and perirenal hematoma (2.61% vs. 5.02%) were lower in the pathway group than those in the control group, the management enrollment rate of chronic kidney disease patients was higher in the pathway group than that in the control group (26.09% vs. 6.16%), and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). The differences in the incidences of acute urinary retention (8.26% vs. 11.18%) and postoperative postural hypotension (0.00% vs. 0.81%) between the two groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05).ConclusionThe application of clinical nursing pathway in percutaneous renal needle biopsy can effectively reduce the length of hospital stay and hospitalization expenses, and improve the management enrollment rate of chronic kidney disease patients.
ObjectiveTo explore the current status of treatment adherence in patients with chronic kidney disease without dialysis and to analyze its influencing factors.MethodsThe patients who visited the Outpatient Department of Nephrology of West China Hospital of Sichuan University from September to December 2020 were taken as the research objects. Self-designed general information questionnaire, treatment adherence questionnaire, physician-patient communication satisfaction, health information seeking behavior questionnaire, and physician-patient concordance questionnaire were used to investigate, and path analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of treatment adherence.ResultsA total of 203 valid questionnaires were obtained. Treatment adherence score was (21.69±2.42) points, self-reported health status was (2.48±0.91) points, physician-patient concordance was (20.39±2.70) points, physician-patient communication satisfaction was (67.73±5.52) points, and health information seeking behavior was (13.17±2.65) points. Health information seeking behavior (r=0.214, P=0.002), physicians-patient concordance (r=0.494, P<0.001), physician-patient communication satisfaction (r=0.229, P=0.001) were positively correlated with treatment adherence. Self-reported health status was negatively correlated with treatment adherence (r=−0.225, P=0.001). Path analysis showed that physicians-patient concordance was the most influencing factor of treatment adherence (total effect=0.474).ConclusionHealth information-seeking behavior and physicians-patient concordance are important factors affecting treatment adherence in chronic kidney disease patients without dialysis. In order to improve treatment adherence of chronic kidney disease patients, healthcare providers can provide various ways to provide information, which can help make more disease-related health knowledge available to patients. Moreover, healthcare workers should also further explore ways to improve the concordance related to reaching agreement between doctors and patients on medical and treatment options.
Objective To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS) in preoperative anxiety in patients with local anesthesia. Methods From May to December 2020, a convenient sampling method was used to conduct an APAIS questionnaire survey on patients undergoing percutaneous renal biopsy in the Department of Nephrology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, and the reliability and validity of the scale were analyzed. ResultsA total of 460 questionnaires were distributed and 444 valid questionnaires were returned, with a valid response rate of 96.5%. The Cronbach α of APAIS was 0.896, the Guttman split-half reliability was 0.811, and the content validity index was 0.891. The model fit was 12.122 for the chi-square fit index/degree of freedom, 0.916 for the goodness-of-fit index, 0.902 for the value-added fit index, 0.079 for the root mean square error of approximation, and 0.946 for the comparative fit index. The APAIS anxiety subscale score was positively correlated with the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale score (r=0.518, P<0.001). Conclusion The APAIS has good reliability and validity for evaluating the level of preoperative anxiety in patients with local anesthesia, but the application of the scale in other conditions requires further testing.
Objective To evaluate the application effect of quality control circle (QCC) in improving the number of cases received in the follow-up management of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods The outpatient and inpatient CKD patients who were filed in the CKD follow-up management center of West China Hospital of Sichuan University from March 10 to October 10, 2020 were selected. We analyzed the reasons that affected CKD patients’ willingness to file by carrying out QCC, improved the case collection by establishing standardized processes, broadened the collection channels, established a collective team, strengthened training management and education of CKD patients and their families, so as to increase the number of cases received in CKD follow-up management. Then, we observed the score of active ability of QCC members before and after this activity. Results After the implementation of QCC activities, the number of follow-up cases increased from 8 per month to 15 per month. The target achievement rate was 140%, and the progress rate was 87.5%. The ability of all circle members in the evaluation indicators of team training has been improved. Conclusions QCC activity can effectively improve the number of cases received in CKD follow-up management. It is helpful for the medical staff to provide better disease management for CKD patients.
Objective To understand the incidence of stigma in non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, and to explore its influencing factors, so as to provide a basis for scientific management of non-dialysis CKD patients. Methods Convenience sampling method was used to select non-dialysis CKD patients hospitalized in the Department of Nephrology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University between December 2019 and December 2020 as the research subjects. The general information questionnaire, Social Impact Scale and Social Support Rating Scale were used to investigate, and logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of stigma in CKD patients without dialysis. Results A total of 300 questionnaires were distributed in this study, and 272 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 90.67%. The age of the patients ranged from 15 to 83 years old, with an average of (38.34±13.64) years old. The disease course ranged from 1 month to 18 years, with a median of 3 years. The patients’ stigma score ranged from 23 to 86 points, with an average score of (40.14±1.67) points, of which 101 patients had a score of ≥48 (with stigma), accounting for 37.13%. Logistic regression analysis showed that gender [odds ratio (OR)=1.871, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.018, 3.347), P=0.042], place of residence [OR=2.991, 95%CI (1.645, 5.824), P=0.001], personal monthly income [OR=0.575, 95%CI (0.260, 0.857), P=0.013], received CKD self-management education or not [OR=0.468, 95%CI (0.258, 0.843), P=0.011], and social support level [OR=0.418, 95%CI (0.230, 0.737), P=0.003] were influencing factors of stigma in CKD patients without dialysis. Conclusion The stigma of non-dialysis CKD patients is at a moderate level. Female, living in rural areas, personal monthly income ≤ 3000 yuan, not receiving CKD self-management education, and low social support level are risk factors for stigma in non-dialysis CKD patients.
