Overview

Quasi-experimental study demonstrates structured home nurse training reduces caregiver burden and improves patient quality of life in hemodialysis, indicating the value of tailored home support.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the impact of home-based, structured nurse training for caregivers of hemodialysis patients on caregiver burden and patient quality of life.
  • Conducted a single-group quasi-experimental pre-post-test design involving N=35 caregivers of patients undergoing hemodialysis.
  • Delivered individualized nursing interventions across five home visits using a custom training booklet.
  • Measured outcomes before and after training using the Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale, SF-36 Scale, and Barthel Index.
  • Observed a statistically significant reduction in caregiver burden following the structured home training intervention.
  • Demonstrated a statistically significant increase in patient quality of life, with marked improvements in pain management inversely correlating with caregiver burden.
