What this trial studies
This observational study aims to develop a narrative nursing protocol to enhance the practice of narrative nursing for patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. By implementing this protocol, the study will assess its effects on patients' negative emotions, self-efficacy, and overall quality of life. Data will be collected before and after the interventions to evaluate the impact of narrative nursing measures on these psychological and emotional factors. The goal is to demonstrate how targeted nursing interventions can improve the well-being of patients with chronic kidney disease.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older who have been diagnosed with end-stage renal disease and have been on dialysis for more than three months.
Not a fit: Patients with severe systemic diseases, mental disorders, or those unable to understand the study's requirements may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly enhance the emotional and psychological well-being of patients undergoing hemodialysis.
How similar studies have performed: While narrative nursing is a recognized approach, this specific application in the context of hemodialysis is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
