Abstract:

【Abstract】Objective To discuss the cognition and behavior changes in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients on low sodium diet. Methods A self- designed "Cognition and behavior questionnaire for MHD patients on low-sodium diet" was used to investigate a total of 148 MHD patients. Results The awareness rate of low- sodium diet and the risk of non- compliance with low- sodium diet in MHD patients was 40.54%. The average percentage of low-sodium diet behavior was 41.89%. Age and education level of the patients and education level of the primary caregivers were significantly correlated with the knowledge level of low-sodium diet in MHD patients. Conclusion Knowledge and behavior of low-sodium diet are at the middle
and lower level in MHD patients. Medical staff should take active measures to educate the patients about the importance of low-sodium diet to improve their quality of life.
