Abstract

This qualitative descriptive study aimed to describe registered nurses’ barriers toward promoting exercise among patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving hemodialysis. The participants were 13 full-time registered nurses who were working at the hemodialysis unit of Thammasat University Hospital for more than 1 year. Data were collected via in-depth interviews using a tape-recorder and field notes. Content analysis was used to analyze the data. The results showed that registered nurses’ barriers toward promoting exercise among patients with ESRD receiving hemodialysis were categorized into 4 groups: 1) Focus on nursing care that impact to the explicit outcome of hemodialysis; 2) lack of knowledge, experience, and confidence; 3) staff shortages and being unable to arrange time for promoting exercise; and 4) lack of a clear policy and supports regarding the promotion of exercise. The hemodialysis units should establish an explicit policy and provide support for promoting exercise among patients with ESRD receiving hemodialysis. Having support in terms of staff and material may enhance hemodialysis nurses to promote exercise among patients with ESRD receiving hemodialysis.
