Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: This study was done to provide effective nursing interventions using an individualized educational program designed to contribute to the knowledge, compliance and physiologic parameters (serum potassium, phosphorus and interdialytic weight gain) of non-compliant hemodialysis patients.
Methods: There were 22 participants in the experimental group and 19 in the control group. Nurses with rapport with patients provided education to non-compliant hemodialysis patients for 20 minutes three times a week for six weeks. This education program consisted of individual consulting, telephones conversations regarding hemodialysis, and requests for patient support from patients’ families and colleagues.
Results: Hypothesis 1; "Knowledge about hemodialysis in the experimental group will be higher than the control. group" was not supported. Hypothesis 2; "Compliance will be higher in the experimental group than in the control group", and Hypothesis 3; "Physiologic parameters of experimental group will improve" were supported as serum potassium and interdialytic weight gain decreased, but results were not consistent for phosphorous.
Conclusion: This program for non-compliant patients increased compliance and improved physiologic parameters. Therefore, this educational program should be effective as a nursing intervention.
