Abstract

Background: Fatigue is a symptom characterized by an elevated prevalence in patients undergoing hemodialysis, which may cause extreme mental and muscular debilitation, significantly influencing social interaction, life quality and well-being. However, the significance of fatigue to patients undergoing hemodialysis has not been recognized yet, and prevention and management of fatigue in this population have not been thoroughly investigated. Additionally, previous studies mainly focused on muscular fatigue, while mental fatigue has been seldom discussed. This study aims to investigate the interaction between nurses and multidisciplinary of nonpharmacological integrated care interventions (NICIs) and assess the impact of fatigue on patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Methods: The integrative nonpharmacological care interventions in this study included walking, motivational interviewing (MI) and health education regarding behavioral self-management. A single-center randomized controlled trial was conducted in the dialysis center of the nephrological department in a tertiary affiliated hospital of medical university from January to June 2019. A total of 118 patients were selected and randomly divided into the intervention group (IG) and the control group (CG). Four patients dropped out during the study, and 114 patients were enrolled for the eventual analysis. The 60 patients in the IG received routine nursing combined with integrated care interventions, while the 54 patients in the CG received routine nursing only. This study lasted for six months.

Results: The experimental group exhibited significant reductions of overall fatigue (2.26 vs. 0.48), mental fatigue (1.41 vs. 0.54), muscular fatigue (2.13 vs. 0.75), and some biochemical indicators (e.g., serum urea) (P<0.05), compared with the CG.

Conclusions: Nurses and multidisciplinary teams have been demonstrated to play a key role and interplay function in chronic disease management. Hence, the nurse-led multidisciplinary NICIs significantly alleviated total fatigue (muscular fatigue and mental fatigue) and improved other parameters.

Trial registration: ChiCTR-IOR-16008621 (March 18, 2016).
