Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to identify the effects of cool dialysis on pruritus of chronic renal failure patients. Methods: The degree of pruritus in 30 patients treated at Hemodialysis Unit in D Medical Center was examined by the itching NRS tool. The data were collected from February 1 to February 28, 2009 and analyzed by the student t-test. The 30 patients were divided into two groups, 15 of experimental group and the same number of control group. Results: The first Hypothesis, that after two hours of hemodialysis the degree of pruritus for the experimental group would be lower than that of the control group is rejected (t=0.726, p=.474). The second Hypothesis, that right after receiving hemodialysis the degree of pruritus would be lower for the experimental group than the control group, is also rejected (t=1.321, p=.199). Conclusion: The research on searching for the effective method of nursing intervention to relieve pruitus for the chronic renal failure patients who receive hemodialysis should be continued.
