Comprehensive nursing for hemodialysis after percutaneous coronary intervention in kidney disease patients with coronary heart disease

  Objective  To explore the effect of comprehensive nursing during hemodialysis in kidney disease patients combined with coronary heart disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

  Methods  A total of 34 coronary heart disease patients combined with kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis after PCI were randomly divided into two groups. The control group(n=17) used routine nursing, while the observation group(n=17) was given comprehensive nursing. The nursing effects of the two groups were compared.

  Results  The observation group was better in 36-item Short-form Health Survey (SF-36) score, and lower in Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) scores than that in the control group (P < 0.05); the observation group had lower incidence of complications than the control group (5.88% vs. 23.53%, P < 0.05).

  Conclusion  Comprehensive nursing can significantly improve symptoms, reduce incidence of complications and improve quality of life for hemodialysis patients with coronary heart disease and kidney disease after PCI.
