Abstract
BULA-ROMERO, Javier Alonso; CALDERON-QUINTANA, Luz Miriam and OQUENDO-MARTINEZ, Carlos Darío. Nurses' perception of education in vascular accesses in hemodialysis. Phenomenological study. Enferm Nefrol [online]. 2020, vol.23, n.1, pp.45-52. Epub June 15, 2020. ISSN 2255-3517. https://dx.doi.org/10.37551/s2254-28842020005.
Introduction:
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) represents a public health problem that creates a challenge for patients and those involved in the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of this health condition. In that sense, it is important to keep in mind that education in self-care is decisive to generate changes in the quality of life of this population group.
Objective:
The objective of this study was to describe the elements that guide education in the self-care of patients with vascular access in hemodialysis treatment, from the nursing perspective.
Materials and Method:
Qualitative descriptive study, of narrative design with phenomenological approach; using the content analysis technique. The study subjects were 10 nursing professionals working in Renal Units of Montería-Córdoba (Colombia). The information was collected through two types of techniques, semi-structured interview and field diaries.
Results:
Three units of meaning emerged from this research: nursing care as an educational support system for self-care; the empathic relationship between the nurse and the patient as a facilitating element in the continuity of self-care; and multidisciplinary work as a strategy for the maintenance of the health and well-being of the patient
Discussion:
The evidence is clear in demonstrating that nursing care, empathic relationships and multidisciplinary work facilitate the adherence of patients with chronic kidney disease to dialysis.
Conclusions:
Education for self-care is a fundamental element for the management of patients with vascular access, and emerges as a tool for the knowledge and development of self-care skills in patients with chronic kidney disease.
