Pre-experimental design enhanced hemodialysis knowledge in caregivers, suggesting effective training methods.
Background: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) means kidneys are damaged and losing their ability to keep healthy. The CKD patients have to be taken care at home for a longer time before kidney transplantation and they depend on intermittent dialysis and drugs to maintain optimum health. The purpose of home care is to promote, maintain or restore a patient’s health and reduce the effects of disease or disability. Objectives: The objectives of the present study were (i) to assess the pre-test knowledge regarding home care of patients undergoing hemodialysis among caregivers (ii) To develop and adminster Structured Teaching Programme on knowledge regarding home care of patients undergoing hemodialysis among caregivers in renal (iii) To evaluate the effectiveness of Structured Teaching Programme on knowledge regarding home care of patients undergoing hemodialysis among (iv) To find out the association between level of knowledge and selected demographic variables. Methods and Materials: Pre-test post-test approach was adopted by using pre-experimental design. The sample size was 30 caregivers in renal unit. Data was collected by using self-structured questionnaire regarding home care management of hemodialysis patients Result: The results of the present study reveal that considering the knowledge, maximum of study subject 24 (80%) had moderately adequate knowledge followed by 4(13.3%) study subject had adequate Knowledge and 2(6.7%) study subject had inadequate Knowledge. Results shows that structure teaching programme was effective in terms of improving knowledge. Conclusion: The study findings showed that the mean post-test knowledge score was Slightly higher than the mean pre-test knowledge score. Hence, it can be concluded that the structure teaching programme was effective in improving the knowledge Regarding Home Care of Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis among Caregivers.
