Key result
Self-efficacy was a significant predictor of dropout from a physical function assessment program among participants receiving maintenance hemodialysis (OR 1.202; 95% CI 1.082-1.334; p<0.05).
Why the study?
Factors associated with dropout from physical function assessment programs among participants receiving outpatient hemodialysis were not well known.

What factors are associated with dropout from physical function assessment programs among participants receiving maintenance hemodialysis?
Higher self-efficacy is associated with continued participation in physical function assessment programs among hemodialysis patients.

Self-efficacy screening may flag dropout risk in hemodialysis physical programs; leaves open whether interventions targeting it improve retention.
We aimed to investigate the factors associated with dropout from a physical function assessment program among participants receiving outpatient hemodialysis (HD). The participants were divided into continuation and dropout groups and followed up for 3 years after the initial physical function assessment. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the dropout group to determine the factors associated with dropout from the physical function assessment program. The continuation and dropout groups included 43 and 58 participants, respectively. The continuation group had a significantly higher self-efficacy (SE) and age than the dropout group (p = 0.001, p = 0.047). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that only SE (OR: 1.202, 95% CI: 1.082-1.334) remained a significant predictor after adjustment (p < 0.05). There is a need to evaluate SE to prevent dropout from physical functioning assessment programs.

Yamaguchi et al. (2021) conducted a cohort in Maintenance hemodialysis (n=101). Self-efficacy was evaluated on Dropout from the physical function assessment program (OR 1.202, 95% CI 1.082-1.334, p=<0.05). Self-efficacy was a significant predictor of dropout from a physical function assessment program among participants receiving maintenance hemodialysis (OR 1.202; 95% CI 1.082-1.334; p<0.05).
