Summary

This trial tests whether a structured nurse-led education program can improve how hemodialysis patients approach diet therapy, self-care, and chronic disease self-management. Sixty adults on maintenance hemodialysis are randomly assigned to either the eight-session program or usual care. Researchers measure changes in attitudes toward diet, self-care activities, and self-management skills before and after the intervention.
