Intervention failed to boost self-efficacy; observational links to better self-care and DBP support targeted research on self-efficacy in hemodialysis.
Does an educative, self-regulation intervention improve blood pressure self-efficacy and self-care outcomes in adults receiving chronic hemodialysis?
An educative self-regulation intervention did not significantly improve blood pressure self-efficacy in hemodialysis patients, though higher self-efficacy was associated with better self-care behaviors and lower diastolic blood pressure.
Kauric-Klein et al. (2016) studied this question.
