The Current State of Kidney Supportive Care in Nephrology Nursing Practice: A Literature Review
Nephrol Nurs J. 2024 Jan-Feb;51(1):25-46.ABSTRACTKidney disease is associated with a high physical and psychological symptom burden. For patients whose condition is more compromised, receiving dialysis as a life-sustaining therapy may not improve longevity or quality of life. Palliative care for patients with kidney disease (also termed kidney supportive care [KSC]) is appropriate for this patient population. Nephrology nurses working in dialysis are well positioned to talk with patients about what patients perceive constitutes a meaningful life or death. A literature review was undertaken to find evidence about if and how...

with Rare Kidney Disease
Nephrol Nurs J. 2024 Jan-Feb;51(1):47-60.ABSTRACTChronic kidney disease (CKD) affects more than 35 million people in the United States, many of whom are undiagnosed. Included in this number are individuals with many types of rare kidney diseases, affecting 20,000 to 200,000 individuals nationwide. There is a major need to educate these individuals on the disease and its progression, especially since many individuals are not aware they have the disease. Descriptive correlational research was conducted in a nationwide sample of adult individuals living with rare glomerular kidney disease. Patient activation and quality of li...

Improving Chronic Kidney Disease Risk Factor Screening Among Older Adults: A Quality Improvement Project
Nephrol Nurs J. 2024 Jan-Feb;51(1):61-68.ABSTRACTEvidence-based screening tools and guidelines for chronic kidney disease (CKD) are inconsistently utilized in primary care. A quality improvement (QI) project evaluated the impact of a CKD education workshop for interprofessional clinical staff and the implementation of the Screening for Occult Renal Disease (SCORED) risk assessment tool to improve identification of patients at risk for CKD in a primary care clinic. Results of the SCORED risk assessment indicated 92% of patient participants were at high risk for CKD. Overall, the SCORED risk assessment reinforced CKD risk fa...

Prevalence of Cognitive Impairment and Relationships with Other Factors in Patients with End Stage Kidney Disease Receiving Hemodialysis
Nephrol Nurs J. 2024 Jan-Feb;51(1):69-75.ABSTRACTDespite recommendations, cognitive screening in patients with end stage kidney disease (ESKD) rarely happens, leading to underestimates of cognitive impairment (CI) prevalence and missed opportunities for intervention. We aimed to describe CI prevalence and associated factors in 100 patients receiving in-center hemodialysis aged 50 years and older. Cognitive function was measured using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Descriptive analysis techniques characterized the sample and estimated mean scores. Non-parametric and parametric tests explored relationships among M...
