Objective  To investigate the current status of health promoting lifestyle in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients and to explore its correlation with chronic illness resource utilization. Methods  Patients who underwent outpatient MHD in the Hemodialysis Room of the Department of Nephrology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University between January and March 2023 were selected. Patients were surveyed using the General Information Questionnaire, Chronic Illness Resource Survey, and Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile-Ⅱ Revise. Results  A total of 158 patients were surveyed. MHD patients scored 103.37±18.52 on health promoting lifestyle, and 68.95±14.14 on chronic illness resource utilization. The Pearson correlation analysis results showed that there was a positive correlation between the chronic illness resource utilization and the total score of health promoting lifestyle in MHD patients (r=0.765, P<0.001), as well as scores in all dimensions (P<0.05). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the main caregivers being parents [non-standardized partial regression coefficient (b)=8.150, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.804, 15.497), P=0.030], weekly dialysis times [b=10.701, 95%CI (2.787, 18.615), P=0.008], and chronic illness resource utilization [b=0.936, 95%CI (0.800, 1.072), P<0.001] were influencing factors for health promoting lifestyle. Conclusions  MHD patients have an average health promoting lifestyle, and ideal chronic illness resource utilization. Hemodialysis nurses can take targeted measures to enhance chronic illness resource utilization and health promoting lifestyle in MHD patients, which can further improve the quality of life of MHD patients.
