Nurses teach dialysis patients to protect lifelines
NCT ID NCT07168239
Summary
This study tested whether a nurse-led education program could help people on long-term dialysis take better care of their vascular access (the 'lifeline' used for treatment). Researchers taught 166 patients how to monitor and protect their access site, then measured if their knowledge and self-care habits improved. The goal was to help patients become more independent and potentially avoid serious complications like infections or blockages.
