Abstract

Abstract:

Objective To investigate the status of demoralization syndrome in patients with maintenance hemodialysis disease（MHD） and to analyze the influencing factors. Methods Convenience sampling method was used to select MHD patients from 16 hospitals in Xiangyang，Hubei Province from October 2021 to April 2022. The general information questionnaire，Demoralization Scale-Ⅱ，Sense of Coherence-13，Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale，and Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire were used for investigation. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of demoralization syndrome in patients with maintenance hemodialysis. Results A total of 1094 MHD patients were included in this study，and the DS-Ⅱ score was（12.72±7.10），of which 57.04% were moderately demoralization and 12.43% were severe demoralization. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that medical payment method，occupational status，sleep quality，quantity of long-term oral medication，sense of coherence，uncertainty in illness，and medical response were the influencing factors of demoralization syndrome（P<0.05）. Conclusion MHD patients have a high incidence of demoralization syndrome，and their psychological distress state needs to be improved. Medical staff should regularly assess the level of demoralization syndrome in patients，and formulate targeted intervention measures according to relevant influencing factors，so as to reduce the level of demoralization syndrome and improve the prognosis and psychological status of patients.

摘要：

目的调查维持性血液透析（maintenance hemodialysis，MHD）患者失志综合征现状，并分析其影响因素。方法采用便利抽样法，于2021年10月—2022年4月选取湖北省襄阳市16所医院的MHD患者作为调查对象。采用一般资料调查表、中文版失志综合征量表Ⅱ、中文版心理一致感量表、疾病不确定感量表和医学应对方式问卷进行调查。采用多元线性回归分析MHD患者失志综合征的影响因素。结果 1 094例MHD患者中文版失志综合征量表Ⅱ得分为（12.72±7.10）分，其中中度失志占57.04%，重度失志占12.43%。多元线性回归分析结果显示，医疗付费方式、职业状况、睡眠质量、长期口服药物数量、心理一致感、疾病不确定感、医学应对方式是MHD患者失志综合征的影响因素（P<0.05）。结论 MHD患者失志综合征发生率高，心理痛苦有待改善。医护人员应定期对患者的失志综合征水平进行评估，并根据相关影响因素制订针对性的干预措施，以降低患者的失志综合征水平，改善其预后及心理状态。

Anxiety is common in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. The extent to which anxiety is engendered by the dialysis treatment itself is not known. We investigated whether anxiety occurs with individual hemodialysis treatments and examined factors associated with these symptoms.This was a cross-sectional study examining 246 MHD patients. Anxiety and other emotional distresses associated with hemodialysis treatments were examined with a questionnaire. Patients were also assessed with the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI).Patients were 57 ± 15 (SD) years; 58% male, 46% diabetic, and undergoing MHD for a median of 40 months (range: 6 - 210 months). 32 - 51% of patients reported anxiety when coming to dialysis, hearing an alarm sound, being connected to the dialysis machine by a new person or seeing paramedics in the dialysis unit. 12 - 18% of patients experienced severe anxiety with one or more of these events. Dialysis-related anxiety correlated with severity of anxiety and depression as determined by BAI and BDI (p < 0.0001 for each comparison) but generally not with dialysis vintage. Even among patients with no or minimal anxiety according to BAI, 9 - 23% reported a little bit to moderate anxiety and 9 - 15% described quite a bit to extreme anxiety with hemodialysis treatments. The frequency that patients described distressing thoughts and feelings correlated directly with their degree of anxiety or depression as determined by BAI and BDI.Patients commonly experience anxiety, which is often severe, with MHD treatments. Hemodialysis-induced anxiety is directed related to the presence and severity of underlying anxiety and depression. Hemodialysis-associated anxiety is prevalent and may be severe even in patients with minimal or no anxiety and/or depression, as determined by BAI and BDI. The frequency and severity of hemodialysis anxiety does not decrease with greater dialysis vintage except for a reduction in anxiety when hearing the dialysis machine alarm. . DOI PMID
