Introduction: Hemodialysis (HD) patients suffer from psychological symptoms such as hopelessness and low sleep quality. The study aimed to investigate the effect of nurse-led continuous care on hope and sleep quality in HD patients.
Methods: In a quasi-experimental study conducted at Baqiyatallah Hospital, 60 hemodialysis patients were randomly assigned to either the control or intervention group. The control group received standard care, whereas the intervention group engaged in a series of three educational sessions and received a comprehensive booklet. Furthermore, the intervention group received a follow-up telephone call after thirty days to promote adherence to the prescribed regimen. Data collection for the study incorporated the utilization of the Miller Hope questionnaire along with demographic data questionnaires. Subsequently, the collected data were subjected to both descriptive and inferential statistical analyses.
Results: The intervention group demonstrated significantly better sleep quality scores compared to the control group. However, there was no statistically significant difference observed in the levels of hope between the two groups (p>0.05).
Conclusion: The implementation of nurse-led patient education and telephone follow-up proves to be a cost-effective approach that significantly enhances the quality of sleep in hemodialysis patients.
