Exploring Life Experience and Lifestyle Intervention Program Among Patients With CKD

Experimental: Intervention group

Intervention groups completed the stage-of-change and readiness-to-change assessments. Intervention groups were provided tailored interventions based on the premise that patient response to physical activity in stages for lifestyle counseling from baseline, 6, 12,18 24, and 30 months.

Conductual: Lifestyle counseling Program

The tailored intervention made use of the 10 processes of change, important guides for developing intervention programs, which have received the most empirical support to date. The 10 processes include consciousness raising, dramatic relief, self-reevaluation, environmental reevaluation, self-liberation, social liberation, counterconditioning, stimulus control, reinforcement management, and helping relations. The different tailored interventions were based on the processes of change matched to the patient's stage of change, providing strategies that may be especially helpful to patients. According to the Lenio analysis of the TTM model of behavior change, the first five processes are used in the early stages, and the last five are used in the later stages.

The Results of Health Promotion Lifestyle Behaviors Scales Total Scores From Baseline to 6, 12, 18, 24, and 30 Months

The HPLP-II is validated, Self-report questionnaires Health promotion lifestyle was measured by the 52-item Health-Promoting Lifestyle-II (HPLP-II) Chinese questionnaire. The total scores of the HPLP-II are determined by calculating a mean item response. The HPLP-II uses mean sums of scale items to remain the 1 to 4 metric of item. Higher scores indicated better health-promoting lifestyle behaviors.

The Results of Disease-specific Knowledge of Renal Protection Checklist (RPK) Scales Total Scores From Baseline to 6, 12, 18, 24, and 30 Months

The renal protection checklist (RPK) is validated, Self-report questionnaires a disease-specific knowledge of renal protection checklist were developed by Yen, Huang, and Teng in 2008. The checklist consists of 20 items including three domains: renal function protection (11 items), knowledge of Chinese herbal medicine related to renal function (5 items), and diet with CKD (4 items). Item responses were "true" or "false." Each item is scored with 5 points for each correct answer. The total scores for the checklist range from 0-100.
