Chronic kidney disease is a global health problem affecting 843.6 million people with 1 million deaths and the 12 leading non-communicable cause of death worldwide. Insomnia is a disturbing problem found in chronic kidney disease patients, leading to physiological problems like fatigue, edema, and restless leg syndrome most of the time. The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of nursing intervention strategies on physiological and psycho-social problems.
A quantitative research approach with quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test design was used to assess the effectiveness of nursing intervention strategies on physiological and psycho-social problems among 30 chronic kidney disease patients, 15 in control and experimental each, admitted in a selected hospital of Punjab. Convenience sampling was used to assign the samples, and data were collected through an interview schedule by using standardized scales. IEC number: 2017/08/5051.
The result of the study showed that the baseline restless leg syndrome mean score was 9.67, whereas the psycho-social problem baseline mean score was 79.80, and after post-test, the mean score was reduced to 7.67 in physiological and 66.87 in psycho-social problems in the experimental group. Intervention was found to be effective in reduction of physiological and psycho-social symptoms of chronic kidney disease patients significantly ( ≤ 0.05).
The study showed that nursing intervention strategies were effective in reduction of physiological and psycho-social symptoms.
慢性肾脏病是一个全球性的健康问题，影响着8.436亿人，导致100万人死亡，是全球12种主要的非传染性死因之一。失眠是慢性肾脏病患者中一个令人困扰的问题，大多数时候会导致疲劳、水肿和不宁腿综合征等生理问题。本研究的目的是评估护理干预策略对生理和心理社会问题的有效性。
采用定量研究方法，采用准实验前测和后测设计，评估护理干预策略对旁遮普邦一家选定医院收治的30例慢性肾脏病患者（对照组和实验组各15例）生理和心理社会问题的有效性。采用便利抽样法分配样本，并通过访谈问卷使用标准化量表收集数据。IEC编号：2017/08/5051。
研究结果显示，实验组不宁腿综合征基线平均分为9.67分，心理社会问题基线平均分为79.80分，后测后，生理问题平均分降至7.67分，心理社会问题平均分降至66.87分。发现干预措施能显著降低慢性肾脏病患者的生理和心理社会症状（≤0.05）。
该研究表明护理干预策略在减轻生理和心理社会症状方面是有效的。
