Introduction: Patients undergoing hemodialysis have a low quality of life due to limitations, psychological pressures, and a lack of social support, which should be taken into account in nursing interventions. The quality of life of hemodialysis patients decreases; therefore, this research was conducted with the aim of determining the effect of Neuman's systemic care model on the quality of life of hemodialysis patients.
Methods: Hemodialysis patients from Shahid Mohammadi Hospital, Bandar Abbas, were selected through convenience sampling in 2020 and were placed in two groups: intervention and control, in an available manner. The data collection tool included the demographic information questionnaire and the kidney patients' quality of life questionnaire (KDQOL-SF), which was completed before and immediately after the intervention. In the intervention group, the patients were cared for based on Neuman's model, while the control group received only routine care. SPSS version 24 statistical software was used to analyze the data, and statistical tests such as the paired t-test and covariance analysis were used to interpret them. In all tests, p < 0.05 was considered a significant level.
Results: The results of the study did not show a statistically significant difference in the two groups in the field of demographic variables, but after the implementation of the intervention, there was a statistically significant difference between the scores of the two groups in the general dimension (areas of physical pain, general health, social functioning, vitality) and specific dimensions (areas of job status, sexual performance, patient satisfaction) of quality of life for dialysis patients.
Conclusion: Based on the results, the use of this nursing model improved the quality of life of patients undergoing hemodialysis. It is hoped that by using this theory, patient care standards will improve, nursing care costs will decrease, and patients' quality of life will be enhanced.
