Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a home-based therapy which requires the patients or their caregivers to perform the practice. We aimed to develop a practical approach to evaluate PD practice ability of the patients and to identify berries to self-care PD.
A structural form was designed comprising measures of physical, cognitive, and operational abilities which were required to perform manual PD independently. The evaluation was jointly conducted by a PD nurse, a nephrologist and a close family member of the patient. Patients who met all the requirements were deemed as capable of performing PD independently (self-care PD) and others were deemed as needing an assistant (assisted PD).
The evaluation form was applied in 280 prevalent PD patients and 33.9% of them were assessed as needing assisted PD, mainly due to physical (62.1%) or operational (66.3%) disabilities. The evaluation result was consistent with current dialysis status in 79.3% patients and it matched better in patients who performed PD with the help of an assistant (93.0 76.8%, = 0.014). Patients who were evaluated as having barriers to self-care PD but still performed PD without an assistant were older and demonstrated higher prevalence of diabetic nephropathy and PD-related infection, lower education level, and lower serum albumin ( < 0.05).
The PD practice ability assessment form is useful to identify patients with barriers to self-care PD. It provides objective information to the patients and their family to choose feasible PD practice modality, self-care, or assisted PD.
腹膜透析(PD)是一种居家治疗方式,需要患者或其照护者进行操作。我们旨在开发一种实用的方法来评估患者的 PD 操作能力,并确定能够进行自我护理 PD 的患者。
设计了一种结构形式,包括独立进行手动 PD 所需的身体、认知和操作能力的衡量标准。评估由 PD 护士、肾脏病学家和患者的近亲共同进行。满足所有要求的患者被认为能够独立进行 PD(自我护理 PD),其他患者则被认为需要辅助(辅助 PD)。
评估表应用于 280 名现患 PD 患者,其中 33.9%的患者被评估为需要辅助 PD,主要是由于身体(62.1%)或操作(66.3%)障碍。在 79.3%的患者中,评估结果与当前透析状况一致,在接受辅助 PD 的患者中评估结果更为匹配(93.0%比 76.8%,=0.014)。被评估为存在自我护理 PD 障碍但仍无需辅助进行 PD 的患者年龄更大,且更常患有糖尿病肾病和 PD 相关感染,受教育程度更低,血清白蛋白水平更低(<0.05)。
PD 操作能力评估表有助于识别存在自我护理 PD 障碍的患者。它为患者及其家属提供了客观信息,以选择可行的 PD 实践模式,即自我护理或辅助 PD。
