Nursing Report on Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Care for Alleviating Anxiety in an Initial Peritoneal Dialysis Patient
To summarize the nursing experience of specialized training interventions for anxiety management in initial peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, providing a reference for psychological care in similar clinical cases.
Methods
2
A patient with chronic kidney disease (CKD stage 5) and mild anxiety during the initial PD phase was selected. Based on the TCM syndrome differentiation of "spleen-kidney Qi deficiency with water retention," a comprehensive care plan was implemented, focusing on specialized training combined with personalized psychological nursing, TCM-specific care, routine nursing, and health education. Key interventions included dialysis skill training, cognitive behavioral therapy, and emotional regulation to alleviate anxiety.
Results
2
After 4 weeks of integrated care, the patient's anxiety significantly improved (SAS score decreased from 58 to 45), with mastery of PD operational skills, enhanced treatment compliance, and improved quality of life. No complications were reported during the 3-month follow-up post-discharge.
Conclusion
2
The specialized training-centered integrated nursing protocol effectively reduces anxiety in initial PD patients. Incorporating TCM syndrome differentiation and evidence-based practices further optimizes outcomes and ensures dialysis safety.
