“…The higher rates of adequate dialysis reported in high-income countries may be due to the routine use of high-flux dialysis and the greater blood flow rates with effective vascular access for dialysis [20]. We also found that a URR below 65% was a predictor of lower HRQOL, consistent with findings from other studies [21,22].…”

Background: Patients with kidney failure on maintenance haemodialysis therapy have a lower health-related quality of life (HRQOL) than matched controls without kidney failure. HRQOL is an important predictor of clinical outcomes among patients with kidney failure, yet there is a paucity of such data in Tanzania. We determined HRQOL among Tanzanian patients with kidney failure receiving maintenance haemodialysis therapy.

“…Haemodialysis can improve the quality of life of patients by removing inflammatory factors and uremia toxins. At present, the urea clearance index (Kt/V) is commonly used to evaluate the dialysis adequacy for haemodialysis patients (Hasan et al, 2021), so in this study, the compliance rate of Kt/V was included as an outcome indicator. The incidence of intradialytic hypotension (IDH) in dialysis is high, and it occurs in approximately 20–30% of dialysis patients.…”

Aims To establish a sensitive, scientific and practical evaluation system for haemodialysis nursing and to provide a reference for the evaluation of haemodialysis nursing quality. Design Through a literature review and Delphi method. Method According to the literature review, a preliminary nursing‐sensitive quality indicators for haemodialysis were established, and an expert survey questionnaire was designed. Finally, the evaluation system for the nursing‐sensitive quality indicators was determined using the Delphi method. Results Thirteen nursing‐sensitive quality indicators for haemodialysis were finally constructed, including two structural indicators, three process indicators and eight outcome indicators. The effective recovery rate of the two rounds of expert survey questionnaires was 100%, the coefficient of judgement basis is 0.956, the coefficient of familiarity is 0.833, the coefficient of authority is 0.895, and the Kendall's harmony coefficients of the two rounds of expert consultation were 0.158 ~ 0.307 and 0.170 ~ 0.315, respectively, with statistical significance (p < .05). Clinical relevance In this study, the nursing‐sensitive quality indicators for haemodialysis were developed by the Delphi method and included structural indicators, outcome indicators and process indicators, which made up for some deficiencies noted in previous studies. The authors have provided a more reliable and comprehensive basis for evaluating the quality and safety of haemodialysis nursing in the future.

Objective To investigate the correlation between the frailty status of elderly patients on regular haemodialysis and the quality of life of their family caregivers. Methods 90 elderly patients with regular haemodialysis and 90 family caregivers of the respective patients were selected from January 2020 to April 2021. The influencing factors of the caregivers’ quality of life and correlation between patient debility and caregiver quality of life were analyzed by general information questionnaire, Tilburg debility index scale, self-care ability scale, family caregiver-related quality-of-life scale and social support scale. Results The quality of life of the family caregivers of elderly patients on regular haemodialysis is at the medium level (4.50 ± 2.96). Multiple linear stepwise regression analysis shows that the ability of patients to take care of themselves, the degree of patients’ weaknesses, whether they care for non-dialysis patients, the time to care for patients, social support and the type of current residence have significant impacts on the quality of life of the caregivers ( p < 0.001). Variance analysis showed that the fitting degree of linear regression equation is relatively high, and the regression equation is significant (F = 9.195, p < 0.001, R = 0.595, R 2 = 0.315). The quality of life of caregivers is positively correlated with the ability of the patients to take care of themselves, the length of care, social support and type of current residence ( p < 0.05). The degree of weakness in patients is negatively correlated with taking care of non-regular dialysis patients ( p < 0.05). Conclusion The ability of patients to take care of themselves, the degree of weakness of the patients, social support and the type of current residence are the influencing factors of the burden on the family caregivers of maintenance haemodialysis patients.
