Teaching dialysis patients to take control: can a Four-Week Nurse-Led program improve diet and Self-Care?
NCT ID NCT07733661
First seen Jul 29, 2026 · Last updated Jul 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.
