ObjectiveTo understand the maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients’ intention to exercise rehabilitation and discuss the influencing factors.MethodsFrom January to March 2019, 141 MHD patients’ intention to exercise rehabilitation was investigated by cross-sectional survey, and the influencing factors of MHD patients’ intention to exercise rehabilitation were analyzed by multiple linear stepwise regression.ResultsA total of 141 questionnaires were issued and 139 valid ones were recovered. The mean score of exercise rehabilitation intention of MHD patients was 39.99±9.29, which was in the middle and high level. Age [unstandardized partial regression coefficient (b)=?5.277, 95% confidence interval (CI) (?8.640, ?1.915), P=0.002], educational level [b=2.412, 95%CI (1.161, 3.663), P<0.001], and 6-minute walking distance [b=3.526, 95%CI (0.032, 7.021), P=0.048] were the influencing factors of exercise rehabilitation intention of MHD patients.ConclusionMHD patients have high intension to exercise rehabilitation, and special attention should be paid to elderly patients and patients with low education level in clinical work to improve their intension to exercise rehabilitation.
