Key result
Telehealth self-management improves self-efficacy in adults undergoing hemodialysis.
Why the study?
Literature suggests novel telehealth technologies have potential to support self-management in haemodialysis patients, but evidence remains inconclusive.
Do telehealth self-management interventions improve self-efficacy and other health outcomes in adults undergoing haemodialysis?
Meta-Analysis (n=1,003)
Do telehealth self-management interventions improve self-efficacy and other health outcomes in adults undergoing haemodialysis?
Standardized Mean Difference: 0.54 (95% CI 0.25–0.83)
p-value: p=0.0002
Telehealth self-management interventions significantly improve self-efficacy in adults undergoing haemodialysis, though the overall certainty of evidence remains very low.

May improve self-efficacy in haemodialysis patients; leaves open other outcomes and practice change pending higher-certainty trials.
Ng et al. (2025) conducted a meta-analysis in Haemodialysis (n=1,003). Telehealth self-management interventions was evaluated on Self-efficacy (SMD 0.54, 95% CI 0.25, 0.83, p=0.0002). Telehealth self-management interventions significantly improved self-efficacy among adults undergoing haemodialysis (SMD 0.54; 95% CI 0.25-0.83; p=0.0002).
