Core Tip

Core Tip: The study aimed to explore the experience of humanistic nursing in hemodialysis for patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD). The results showed that humanistic nursing effectively reduced patients’ negative emotions, improved healing, controlled blood glucose levels, and maintained renal function. It also reduced the incidence of complications and enhanced patients’ life quality and nursing satisfaction. These findings highlight the importance of humanistic nursing in improving the care and well-being of DKD patients undergoing hemodialysis. The implementation of humanistic nursing should be widely promoted and applied in clinical practice.
