耳穴埋豆在动静脉内瘘成形术后患者中的应用

摘要

Abstract：Objective To investigate the effect of auricular acupressure therapy for patients with arteriovenous fistula. Methods 〓Totally 120 patients who suffered from pain after establishment of arteriovenous fistula were assigned to the observation group and the control group, with 60 cases in each group. Patients of both two groups received routine care, and those of the observation group were given auricular acupressure therapy. The pain degree by Numerical Rating Scale(NRS)after establishment of arteriovenous fistula, score of Generic Quality of Life Inventory(GQOLI)before discharge and comfort degree of patients at 24 hours after surgery were compared between two groups. Results 〓The NRS on pain was lower in the observation group than that of controls at 6 and 12 h after surgery(P0.05). Patients of the observation group achieved higher scores in factors of body function, psychological function, social function(except for the factor of social support)compared with those of the control group(P0.05). The comfort degree was higher in the observation group than that of controls at 24 hours after surgery(P0.05). Conclusion 〓The auricular acupressure therapy is potentially effective to relieve the pain of patients with arteriovenous fistula.
