This study aimed to explore the characteristics of hemodialysis patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This descriptive study employed a cross-sectional approach using 30 participants purposively selected from two hemodialysis centers in Riau Province, Indonesia. A personal information form and observation sheets were used for data collection. This study was conducted in May and June 2020. Distribution frequency and Pearson Correlation tests were applied during analysis.
A total of 16 (53.3%) patients were female, and most respondents (90%) were married. In addition, the predominant occupation was employees (40%), and the majority has graduated from Senior High School (43.3%). The Mean, Median, and Standard Deviation (SD) of age were 49.9, 50.5, and 11.24. These parameters were respectively 37.88, 29.5, and 34.06 months for the duration from the first dialysis, while 2.04, 2, and 0.24 were correspondingly reported in terms of dialysis adequacy. The Mean, Median, and SD of Inter-dialytic weight gain were 2.25, 2.61, and 0.65, respectively. A correlation was established between age and IDWG ( value = 0.047) with score = -0.50, and also between IDWD and dialysis adequacy ( value = 0.014) at score = -0.60.
The study identified the need for nurses to carefully consider IDWG and dialysis adequacy while caring for hemodialysis patients. This approach is expected to facilitating survival during the COVID-19 pandemic.
本研究旨在探讨 COVID-19 大流行期间血液透析患者的特点。
本描述性研究采用横断面研究设计，从印度尼西亚廖内省的两家血液透析中心有目的地选择了 30 名参与者。使用个人信息表和观察表收集数据。本研究于 2020 年 5 月和 6 月进行。分析时应用了分布频率和 Pearson 相关检验。
共有 16 名（53.3%）患者为女性，大多数（90%）为已婚。此外，主要职业是员工（40%），大多数毕业于高中（43.3%）。年龄的平均值、中位数和标准差（SD）分别为 49.9、50.5 和 11.24。这些参数分别为首次透析后时间的 37.88、29.5 和 34.06 个月，透析充分性的参数分别为 2.04、2 和 0.24。间期体重增加的平均值、中位数和 SD 分别为 2.25、2.61 和 0.65。年龄与 IDWG 之间存在相关性（ 值=0.047）， 得分=-0.50，IDWD 与透析充分性之间也存在相关性（ 值=0.014）， 得分=-0.60。
本研究发现护士在照顾血液透析患者时需要仔细考虑 IDWG 和透析充分性。这种方法有望促进 COVID-19 大流行期间的生存。
