The narrative nursing process is based on the practice of "two-line system" proposed by Jiang, which is carried out in a separate classroom, office or ward with sufficient space and good lighting. The environment is set to the right temperature and humidity for comfortable face-to-face conversation. This process is done in stages, depending on how often the patient is dialysis three or more times a week. Each session lasts about 30 minutes and the whole process lasts four weeks. Adjust to the specific needs of each patient .
Patients undergoing MHD received traditional nursing interventions, encompassing various aspects such as dietary advice, instructions on medication usage, health education, emphasis on precautions during dialysis, and guidelines for vascular access care. Additionally, the nurses proactively inquired about patients' emotional well-being during the nursing shift change, actively engaged and uplifted patients experiencing low spirits, and encouraged family members to provide emotional support.
