Hemodialysis Intervention to Improve Patient Quality of Life in Mr. A with Chronic Renal Failure

Patients with chronic renal failure require treatment that can replace kidney function in the human body. One such treatment is hemodialysis, which aims to filter fluids, electrolytes, and metabolic waste in order to improve the patient's quality of life. This study aims to describe the nursing care provided to patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis, with a focus on improving their quality of life. This research used a qualitative case study approach, with instruments such as observation sheets, interviews, and document analysis. The research subject was a patient, Mr. A, who was diagnosed with chronic renal failure at Gunung Jati General Hospital, Cirebon City. The results showed that the management of nursing problems such as ineffective renal perfusion and hypervolemia was successfully carried out, as indicated by the absence of edema, a more stable increase in body weight, and a decrease in serum creatinine levels. Despite the improvement, the patient still requires hemodialysis to maintain kidney function. This study confirms the importance of continuous care through hemodialysis in improving the quality of life of patients with chronic renal failure. The findings also highlight the important role of nursing interventions in managing complications and improving patient health outcomes.
