Effects on Liver Cirrhotic Patients' by a Nurse-led Clinic

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study compare the effects of traditional follow-up by physician with a combined follow-up alternately by physician and nurse-led clinic. The main variable is; health related quality of Life. Participants are randomized into control group or intervention group.

Clinical Trial Description

The incidence of liver cirrhosis in Sweden increase mostly due to life style factors. A large need of care is common in the end stage of the disease. Nurse-led clinics for other groups of patients, e.g. coronary heart disease, have shown high quality which has resulted in an established part of the follow-up. This study is a randomized controlled study at six Swedish hospitals to study the effect of a changed follow-up process for liver cirrhotic patients by adding a nurse-led clinic to follow up by physician. The intervention implies a larger extend of nursing interventions at the outpatient clinic to increase the patient's quality of life, quality of care and reduce the need of inpatient care. A few hospitals in Sweden offers a nurse-led clinic for liver cirrhotic patients, the interest in other hospitals are raising. Though there is a lack of evidence in nursing intervention within this population and it is still unknown what the effects are for the individual or on the health economy. ;
