Objectives : This study developed the education program regarding phosphate binders and investigated the effect of education program on the self-efficacy, phosphate–related knowledge, medication adherence, and the physiological indexes in hemodialysis patients with hyperphosphatemia.
Methods : This study used a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design.
The experimental group (n=25) received for six times consultation every two weeks and one time education for 13weeks, and usual care. The control group (n=22) received usual care only.
Results : After a 13-week intervention, significant improvements were seen in phosphate-related knowledge (F=5.022, p=.030) and medication adherence (F=8.94, p=.004). However, there was no statistically significant change on the levels of calcium (F=0.098, p=.755), phosphate (F=0.031, p=.861), calcium × phosphate (F=0.046, p=.832) and self-efficacy (F=0.003, p=0.959).
Conclusions : The education program about taking phosphate binders provided by dialysis nurse is useful to improve phosphate-related knowledge and medication adherence in hemodialysis patients with hyperphosphatemia. |
