Observation on the Efficacy of Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupoint Application Combined with Nursing Intervention in the Hemodialysis Room on Constipation in Hemodialysis Patients
Objective: This paper focuses on the common constipation problem in hemodialysis patients and deeply explores the application value of traditional Chinese medicine acupoint application combined with nursing intervention in the hemodialysis room. Methods: 60 hemodialysis constipation patients admitted to our hospital from February 2024 to January 2025 were selected and divided into groups by lottery, with 30 patients in each group. The experimental group used routine nursing + traditional Chinese medicine acupoint application combined with hemodialysis room nursing intervention, while the control group used routine nursing, and the data differences between the groups were compared. Results: Compared with the control group, the total effective rate of constipation improvement in the experimental group was significantly higher after intervention, the main constipation symptom scores were significantly lower after intervention, the SAS and SDS scores were significantly lower after intervention, the PAC-QOL score was significantly lower after intervention, and the constipation score was significantly lower after intervention. The defecation time was significantly shorter, and the number of defecation times was significantly more after the intervention, P < 0.05; there was no difference in the main constipation symptom scores, SAS and SDS scores, PAC-QOL scores, defecation time, and defecation frequency between the two groups before the intervention, P > 0.05. Conclusion: Traditional Chinese medicine acupoint application combined with hemodialysis room nursing intervention for hemodialysis patients during constipation can effectively improve constipation symptoms, help reduce patients’ psychological burden, improve patients’ quality of life, facilitate patient recovery, and has good clinical application prospects.
