摘要

背景：肾衰竭是全球的一个主要健康问题，在加纳和其他中低收入国家尤其如此。护士是管理肾衰竭患者的直接护理和技术操作的核心人员，她们亲身经历了肾衰竭管理的复杂性，包括在资源有限的环境中进行血液透析：本研究探讨了在加纳为接受血液透析的肾衰竭患者提供护理的护士的经验：方法：采用定性探索性描述方法。采用目的取样法选出了 16 名参与者。通过深入访谈收集数据，并采用反思性主题分析法对数据进行分析：结果：确定了反映加纳护士护理接受血液透析的肾衰竭患者的经验的四个主要专题，表明护理这些患者的护士认为他们的护理费用高昂、要求高、效果不理想，而且护士在情绪上感到痛苦：本研究提供了宝贵的见解，有助于加深对血液透析患者护理工作的意义和重要性的理解。要改善加纳护士的血液透析护理经验，就必须解决与成本、护士的情绪压力和工作量以及资源可用性有关的问题。需要对医疗保健系统进行改革，以改善血液透析患者和医疗专业人员的体验。

A Qualitative Study on Nurses' Caring Experiences With Individuals With Kidney Failure Receiving Haemodialysis

Background

Kidney failure is a major health issue globally, particularly in Ghana and other low- and middle-income countries. Nurses are centrally involved in the direct care and technical operations of managing individuals with kidney failure, and they have first-hand exposure to the complexities of kidney failure management, including haemodialysis within resource-constrained settings.

Objective

This study explored the experiences of nurses who provide care to individuals with kidney failure receiving haemodialysis in Ghana.

Methods

A qualitative exploratory descriptive approach was used. Sixteen participants were selected using purposive sampling. Data was collected through in-depth interviews and analysed using reflexive thematic analysis.

Results

Four main themes that reflect the experiences of nurses caring for individuals with kidney failure receiving haemodialysis in Ghana were identified, showing that nurses caring for these individuals consider their care as expensive, demanding, suboptimal and emotionally distressing for nurses.

Conclusion

This study provides valuable insights that could enhance the understanding of the meaning and significance of caring for individuals receiving haemodialysis. Improving the haemodialysis caring experiences of nurses in Ghana requires addressing issues related to cost, emotional stress and workload of nurses, and resource availability. Changes to the healthcare system are needed to enhance the experience of patients and medical professionals involved in haemodialysis.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Renal Care (JORC), formally EDTNA/ERCA Journal, is the official publication of the European Dialysis and Transplant Nursing Association/European Renal Care Association (EDTNA/ERCA). The Journal of Renal Care is an international peer-reviewed journal for the multi-professional health care team caring for people with kidney disease and those who research this specialised area of health care. Kidney disease is a chronic illness with four basic treatments: haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis conservative management and transplantation, which includes emptive transplantation, living donor & cadavaric transplantation. The continuous world-wide increase of people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) means that research and shared knowledge into the causes and treatment is vital to delay the progression of CKD and to improve treatments and the care given. The Journal of Renal Care is an important journal for all health-care professionals working in this and associated conditions, such as diabetes and cardio-vascular disease amongst others. It covers the trajectory of the disease from the first diagnosis to palliative care and includes acute renal injury. The Journal of Renal Care accepts that kidney disease affects not only the patients but also their families and significant others and provides a forum for both the psycho-social and physiological aspects of the disease.
