Objective To investigate the efficacy of follow-up continuous nursing intervention on the self-management ability and medication compliance of patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. Methods Between June and December 2013, 157 maintenance hemodialysis patients were randomly divided into control group (n=76) and study group (n=81). The control group was given conventional nursing, while the study group received continuous nursing intervention program as well as conventional nursing. Six months later, the self-management ability and medication compliance of the patients were assessed by using self-made Patient Self-management Scale and Morisky Medication Compliance Scale. Results Six months later, self-management ability in patients of the study group was significantly better than that in the control group (P<0.05). Medication compliance rate in the study group reached a highest of 45.7%, while it was only 18.4% in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was significant (χ2=13.283, P<0.001). Conclusion Follow-up continuous nursing intervention can obviously improve maintenance hemodialysis patients' ability of self management and compliance behavior, so as to improve the quality of life of these patients.
