Key result
Hemodialysis interdialytic weight gain of 3.5% or less is linked to higher fluid restriction self-efficacy.
Why the study?
Is self-efficacy associated with adherence to fluid restrictions (interdialytic weight gain) in haemodialysis patients?
Population
113 Portuguese haemodialysis patients recruited from three dialysis units
Design
Cross-sectional

Supports self-efficacy–adherence link in haemodialysis; leaves open whether interventions targeting self-efficacy improve fluid control.
Cross-Sectional (n=113)
Yes
Is self-efficacy associated with adherence to fluid restrictions (interdialytic weight gain) in haemodialysis patients?
Higher self-efficacy is associated with better adherence to fluid restrictions, as evidenced by lower interdialytic weight gain, in haemodialysis patients.
Lindberg et al. (2010) conducted a cross-sectional in Haemodialysis (n=113). Interdialytic weight gain ≤3.5% vs. Interdialytic weight gain >3.5% was evaluated on Self-efficacy scores to fluid restrictions. Haemodialysis patients with an interdialytic weight gain of 3.5% or less presented significantly higher self-efficacy scores regarding fluid restrictions compared to those exceeding the cutoff.
