Abstract
- Objective·To survey the status quo of knowledge, attitude, belief and practice (KAP) of safe medication in the process of medication therapy management in dialysis patients, and analyze the related factors.Methods·This study was a cross-sectional study with the maintenance dialysis patients selected from the Department of Nephrology, Shanghai Ninth Peopleā²s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from March 2019 to March 2021. The KAP scale for safe medication in patients with chronic kidney disease verified by reliability and validity tests was used to evaluate the status quo of safe medication, and their medication list and clinical characteristics were also investigated. The occurrence of medication-related problems (MRPs) was evaluated according to the Strand classification system. The related factors of KAP level of safe medication in the dialysis patients were analyzed by univariate analysis and multiple linear regression analysis.Results·A total of 187 maintenance dialysis patients were included, including 103 patients with maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) and 84 patients with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). The mean age of them was (60.19±12.80) years, the mean dialysis duration was (44.31±36.90) months, and the mean numbers of comorbidities and medications were 6.37±2.17 and 7.48±2.66, respectively. In the dialysis patients, the mean score of KAP scale was (77.68±18.53) points. The mean scores of knowledge, attitude, and practice of safe medication were (24.96±8.92), (17.19±3.18), and (35.40±8.18) points, respectively. The univariate analysis results showed that there were significant differences of KAP scores for safe medication in the dialysis pattern, the educational level, the economic level and the occurrence of renal anemia in the maintenance dialysis patients (all P
