Intervention Value of Path-Type Health Education on Cognition and Renal Function of Patients with Diabetic Nephropathy

Abstract

Objective. Analyze and examine the effectiveness of path-based health education for patients with diabetic nephropathy and renal function. Methods. The 162 diabetic nephropathy patients admitted to our hospital from January 2018 to January 2021 were selected, and participants were randomly assigned to groups: study group ( n = 79 ) and control group ( n = 83 ). The control group received routine nursing care, whereas the study group received path-type health education. GQOLI-74, MUIS-A scores, biochemical indicators, dietary indicators, cognition, blood glucose levels, and renal function were compared between the two groups. Results. The GQOLI-74 score of the two groups was substantially higher, while the MUIS-A score was significantly lower, although the study group changed more significantly ( P < 0.05 ) than the control group. The biochemical markers in both groups decreased significantly, but the study group changed more dramatically ( P 0.05 ) than the control group; the nutritional index values of both groups increased significantly, but the study group’s nutritional index values increased significantly ( P 0.05 ) when compared to those of the control group; the control group’s awareness of drug treatment, basic knowledge, exercise, and diet was 79.4 percent, 78.9 percent, 73.4 percent, and 91.0 percent, respectively, and the study group’s awareness of drug treatment, basic knowledge, exercise, and diet was 90.3%, 96.4%, 92.8%, and 94.0%. The study group exhibited greater awareness ( P 0.05 ) than the control group. The blood glucose indices of both groups were dramatically lowered; however, the study group’s blood glucose level declined more significantly ( P 0.05 ) than the control group. The renal function indices of both groups were considerably lower, but the study group’s renal function indexes were significantly lower ( P 0.05 ) than those of the control group. Conclusion. Pathway health education is a new nursing method that can adjust nutritional indicators, improve blood sugar and kidney function, and significantly increase patients’ awareness of the disease, which can further improve patient compliance with treatment. This nursing method has high application feasibility and high clinical value.

Clinical Effects of Primary Nursing on Diabetic Nephropathy Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis and Its Impact on the Inflammatory Responses

“…The main cause of diabetic nephropathy is the untimely and ineffective control of diabetes. Chronic hyperglycemia in patients leads to sustained damage to the renal vasculature due to blood pressure, which results in blood filtration overload in the kidneys and thus nephropathy [ 3 ]. The loss of metabolic function of the kidney over a certain level will progress to uremia, which requires dialysis treatment or kidney transplantation [ 4 ].…”

The application effect of the trans-theoretical model of behavior change in diabetic kidney disease patients treated with maintenance hemodialysis

“…It implied that the nursing method combined with TTM of behavior change can relieve patients' bad psychological state, increase the compliance to fluid intake and also effectively reduce the incidence rate of dialysis-associated acute complications. Starting from the point that research objects show some behaviors unfavorable for the treatment, TTM of behavior change aims to guide the research objects to change their bad behaviors, take intervention measures by stage, and strengthen new beneficial behaviors until the objective of health behaviors is realized [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31].…”
