摘要: | Purpose: To study the long-term changes in physical
functional performance and quality of life in hemodialysis
patients living in the community in Taiwan.
Methods: This prospective study monitored 27 ambulatory
hemodialysis patients for 16 months living in
the community in Taiwan. Physical capacity (6-minute
walk test, grip strength, pinch strength and chair-rising
time), maximal cardiovascular fitness test, functional
performance (Functional Independence Measure)
and quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF) were evaluated.
Results: There were 17 men and 7 women, with a
mean age of 61.3 (± 9.0) years. The results showed
significantly decreased pinch strength (right hand:
from 6.4 kg to 4.5 kg, p=0.009; left hand: from 5.6 kg
to 4.7 kg, p=0.017) and decreased quality of life (from
89.5 to 85.3 for WHOQOL-BREF total score, p=0.026),
especially in the domain of physical health and subcategories
of concentrating ability, satisfaction with
working ability and sex life, and “eating foods whenever
wanted,” over the 16-month period. Maximal
cardiovascular fitness and functional performance
remained stationary during the 16-month period.
Conclusion: Significantly declined pinch strength and
quality of life, with maintained maximal cardiovascular
fitness and functional performance, were noted in
ambulatory hemodialysis patients over the 16-month
period of follow-up. An intensive pinch strengthening
program and overall improvement in quality of life for
these patients is needed. |
