Objective To analyze the value of prophylactic care in preventing catheter-related bloodstream infections in hemodialysis patients. Methods A total of 40 patients receiving hemodialysis treatment at our hospital from November 2022 to May 2025 were selected and divided into a control group (traditional care) with 20 cases and an experimental group (prophylactic care) with 20 cases using a random number table method. The incidence of venous catheter infections, various time indicators, and psychological status were compared between the two groups. Results After intervention, the incidence of venous catheter infections in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05); the SAS and SDS scores in the experimental group were also lower than those in the control group (P<0.05); the duration of catheter placement and the time of CRBSI in the experimental group were longer, while the length of hospital stay and the duration of CRBSI were shorter (P<0.05). Conclusion The use of prophylactic care in preventing catheter-related bloodstream infections in hemodialysis patients has significant advantages, effectively reducing the incidence of venous catheter infections, alleviating negative emotions, improving clinical outcomes, and promoting recovery. It is recommended for widespread adoption.
