Studies suggest that the hemodialysis (HD) shift on which a patient dialyzes impacts sleep disorders, depressive symptoms, quality of life, and mortality. However, study findings have been limited and inconsistent. The purpose of this project was to determine the relationship between HD shifts (morning, afternoon, and evening), and depression and sleep quality disturbance. Forty-one participants were recruited to participate in this project. Participants on the third shift had the highest levels of depression (M = 11.67) and poorest sleep quality (M = 14.5), compared to those who dialyzed on the first shift, who had the best sleep quality scores (M = 8.31; p = 0.013) and depression scores (M = 4.25). A significant positive correlation was observed between depression and sleep quality scores (r = 0.64; p < 0.001). Results indicate the HD shift can play a significant role in sleep disturbances and depression in patients on HD. Further studies need to be conducted to validate these findings.

Central venous catheter-related infection is the most common complication in patients on hemodialysis. Nursing care is essential for its maintenance, minimizing risk factors, and avoiding complications, such as bacteremia. A systematic review was conducted to identify the influence of nursing care on the prevention of bacteremia due to hemodialysis catheter. The primary endpoint was the bacteremia rate measured as number of events per 1000 catheter days. The rate of bacteremia in the studies ranged from 0.2 to 5.47 events per 1000 catheter days after the application of nursing care. Several studies have shown a significant reduction in central venous catheter bacteremia with the application of management protocols, appropriate vigilance, and monitoring, as well as the inclusion of the Plan Do Check Act cycle and education.

Studies have found that yoga may be beneficial to patients with chronic diseases by improving physical functioning, cardiovascular risk factors, and mood disorders. To date, minimal research has been conducted on the benefits of yoga in patients on chronic hemodialysis. Yoga utilizes postures, breathing, and meditation to help focus the mind and engage the body in low-to-moderate physical activity. The purpose of this pilot study was to determine the feasibility of conducting a chair yoga study and compare the effects of a four-week chair yoga intervention on psychological and physiological outcomes in a sample of 31 patients on chronic hemodialysis. At study completion, the chair yoga group had significantly lower depression and anxiety scores, and diastolic blood pressure than the standard care group. This study demonstrated the difficulty in recruiting participants for yoga studies. Future studies with larger sample sizes and over longer durations of time should be conducted to further validate findings. In addition, further exploration of interventions to promote motivation in this population to participate in similar low-intensity exercises needs to be conducted.
