Effects of interactive health education combined with exercise therapy on motor function,self-care ability and quality of life of peritoneal dialysis patients
Objective To investigate the effects of interactive health education combined with exercise therapy on the motor function,self-care ability,and quality of life of peritoneal dialysis patients.Methods A total of 80 patients treated with peritoneal dialysis at Qianjiang Central Hospital from June 2021 to June 2023 were selected as the study subjects.They were divided into a control group and an observation group using a random number table method,with 40 cases in each group.The control group received routine nursing measures,while the observation group received interactive health education combined with exercise therapy on the basis of the above nursing measures.The motor function(6-minute walk test[6MWT],seconds of 10 times of sit-to-stand),self-care ability(exercise of self-care agency scale[ESCA]),and quality of life(MOS item short from health survey[SF-36])scores of the two groups of patients before and after intervention were compared.Results After the intervention,the 6MWT and seconds of 10 times of sit-to-stand of the two groups were significantly improved,and the 6MWT of the observation group was higher than that of the control group,and the seconds of 10 times of sit-to-stand were less than that of the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).After the intervention,the scores of each dimension and the total score of ESCA and SF-36 in the two groups were significantly improved,and the above indexes in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusion The combination of interactive health education and exercise therapy can improve the motor function,self-care ability,and quality of life of peritoneal dialysis patients,and is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
