運動訓練對尿毒血液透析患者在心肺耐力與憂鬱狀態之效果

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to explore the effects of exercise training on cardiopulmonary endurance and depression status of hemodialysis patients. The purposive sample was recruited from a medical center in southern Taiwan. A total of forty hemodialysis patients were assigned into the experimental and control groups. Twenty patients in the experimental group underwent a 30-50 minutes, three times a week, stationary bicycle training during off-dialysis period for eight weeks. Twenty patients in the control group did not receive any exercise. The exercise test was administered to measure the cardiopulmonary endurance and the Beck Depression Scale was used to evaluate the depression status of each patient prior to and after the 8-week exercise training. Results of the study showed that exercise training increased cardiopulmonary endurance and improved depression status. The resting systolic blood pressure and heart rate reduced by 5.6% and 10.2% respectively. The VO2max, anaerobic threshold VO2, O2 pulse and maximal workload increased by 36.1%, 17.5%, 20%, 43.3% respectively. The depression scores decreased by 36.2%. Significant difference was noted between the two groups. The findings may indicate implementing exercise training during an off-dialysis period can enhance the quality of clinical care for chronic renal failure patients .
