Application of quasi-collective education in chronic renal failure dialysis patients before discharge

Objective To explore the effects of quasi-collective education in chronic renal failure dialysis patients before discharge. Methods A total of 94 cases of first hemodialysis patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from April 2016 to March 2017 were selected as the research objects by convenience sampling method. According to the admission date, 45 patients admitted from April to September 2016 were assigned to control group, and 49 patients admitted from Octorber 2016 to March 2017 were assigned to observation group. Routine discharge health education was applied in the control group, while quasi-collective education was adopted in the observation group. The growth rate of body mass index (BMI) , the incidence of complications, the average education time and patient satisfaction with education were compared between the two groups. Results On the 30th day of discharge, the growth rate of BMI of the observation group was lower than that of the control group, while the compliance was higher than that of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (t=5.289, Z=4.566; P<0.01) . The incidence of dialysis complications in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, and the average education time was higher than that in the control group. Patients' satisfaction with education in time consuming, freedom, autonomy and richness in the observation group were statistically significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.01) . Conclusions Quasi-collective education can significantly improve the discharge education effectiveness in chronic renal failure dialysis patients, so as to improve the treatment effect.
