Nurse-Led Dialysis Self-Management Program for Hemodialysis Distress
The Effect of a Nurse-Led Needs-Based Dialysis Self-Management Program on Dialysis-Related Distress in Hemodialysis Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Hemodialysis patients may experience dialysis-related distress due to long-term treatment requirements, dietary and fluid restrictions, medication use, vascular access problems, dialysis-related symptoms, and psychosocial challenges. Nurse-led self-management programs may help patients improve dialysis self-management, reduce distress, and support treatment adherence.
This study aims to evaluate the effect of a nurse-led needs-based dialysis self-management program on dialysis-related distress in patients receiving hemodialysis. The study will be conducted as a single-center, two-arm, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial. A total of 100 adult hemodialysis patients will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control group in a 1:1 ratio.
Participants in the intervention group will receive a 6-week nurse-led needs-based dialysis self-management program in addition to routine hemodialysis care. Participants in the control group will continue routine hemodialysis care. Data will be collected at baseline, 6 weeks, and 18 weeks. The primary outcome is dialysis-related distress. Secondary outcomes include illness and treatment uncertainty, treatment adherence, and clinical adherence indicators.

Descrição detalhada
The intervention is a structured, non-invasive, education- and counseling-based behavioral nursing intervention. The nurse-led needs-based dialysis self-management program aims to improve self-management skills, reduce dialysis-related distress, decrease illness and treatment uncertainty, and support treatment adherence.
The program will be delivered over 6 weeks through weekly face-to-face individual sessions lasting approximately 40 to 45 minutes. The intervention includes two components: standard core education and needs-based individualized counseling. Standard core education will be delivered to all participants in the intervention group. Individualized counseling will be guided by participants' baseline dialysis-related distress, illness and treatment uncertainty, treatment adherence, and clinical indicators.
The intervention content includes the hemodialysis process and individual needs assessment, fluid management and interdialytic weight control, diet and potassium/phosphorus management, medication adherence and treatment continuity, symptom and distress management, coping with treatment uncertainty, and development of a sustainable self-management plan. Intervention fidelity will be monitored using a standardized session checklist.

Dialysis-Related Distress Assessed by the Hemodialysis Distress Thermometer
Prazo: Baseline, 6 weeks, and 18 weeks
|
Dialysis-related distress will be assessed using the Hemodialysis Distress Thermometer.
The instrument includes a distress barometer scored from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no distress and 10 indicates extreme distress.
Higher scores indicate higher perceived dialysis-related distress.
The instrument also includes a 40-item problem checklist scored from 0 to 40, where higher scores indicate a greater number of distress-related problems.

Illness and Treatment Uncertainty Assessed by the Uncertainty in Chronic Dialysis Treatment Scale
Prazo: Baseline, 6 weeks, and 18 weeks
|
Illness and treatment uncertainty will be assessed using the Uncertainty in Chronic Dialysis Treatment Scale.
The scale includes 17 items and five subscales.
Total raw scores range from 17 to 85 and can be transformed to a 0 to 100 scale.
Higher scores indicate higher illness and treatment uncertainty.

Treatment Adherence Assessed by the End-Stage Renal Disease Adherence Questionnaire
Prazo: Baseline, 6 weeks, and 18 weeks
|
Treatment adherence will be assessed using the End-Stage Renal Disease Adherence Questionnaire.
The scale includes 9 items and four subscales: hemodialysis attendance, medication use, fluid restriction, and diet restriction.
Total scores range from 0 to 1200.
Higher scores indicate higher adherence to treatment.
