AbstractTo determine the risk factors and nursing countermeasures for post-operative hematoma in hemodialysis patients with autogenous arteriovenous fistula by logistic regression analysis. A retrospective analysis of 240 chronic hemodialysis patients admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to October 2022 was performed. Physical and vascular examinations of the patients were performed by surgeons. Continuous care measures were implemented for all patients. The patient serum creatinine (Scr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were measured on the day of inclusion and after the implementation of care measures. Self-management scales were used to analyze patients' self-management. Fatigue symptoms were assessed using the Fatigue Scale 14. The WHO Quality of Life Scale (WHOQOL-BREF score) was used to assess patients' quality of life. Self-Rating Depression Scale and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) were used to assess negative affect. Treatment compliance was assessed according to 3 levels: complete compliance, compliance, and noncompliance. In all, 240 patients underwent 240 initial and 48 repeat procedures; 18 of the 240 patients experienced fistula failure, with an overall success rate of 92.5% (222/240). There were no significant differences in renal function, self-management, General Self-Efficacy Scale, fatigue symptom scores, and WHOQOL-BREF scores between the postoperative hematoma group and no-hematoma group before the continuous care. After continuous care, renal function, self-management, General Self-Efficacy Scale, fatigue symptom scores, and WHOQOL-BREF scores were better in the postoperative no-hematoma group than in the hematoma group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < .05). Logistic regression analysis of risk factors for postoperative hematoma showed that elevated Scr and BUN levels, decreased self-management and SAS scores and poor treatment compliance were independent risk factors for postoperative hematoma in hemodialysis patients with autologous arteriovenous fistulas (P < .05). Elevated Scr levels, elevated BUN levels, decreased self-management scores, decreased SAS scores, and poor treatment compliance were independent risk factors for postoperative hematoma in hemodialysis patients with autogenous arteriovenous fistulas. By providing continuous care to hemodialysis patients based on timing theory, the negative emotions can be alleviated and the self-efficacy, quality of life, and treatment compliance of the patients can be improved.Copyright © 2024 the Author(s).
