About this trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of a self-care and self-efficacy-based hybrid education program implemented for individuals receiving hemodialysis treatment on their clinical findings, psychosocial status (dialysis distress), and comfort levels during the dialysis process.

For this purpose, the most important questions to be answered in the study are as follows:

* What are the clinical findings, psychosocial status (dialysis distress), and comfort levels of hemodialysis patients at the beginning of the study? * Does the self-care and self-efficacy-based hybrid education have an impact on the clinical findings, psychosocial status (dialysis distress), and comfort levels of hemodialysis patients?

Participants:

The intervention group will receive a structured hybrid education program based on self-care and self-efficacy. The control group will not receive any intervention during this period and will continue with routine nursing care (standard treatment).

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Experimental

    Other intervention

    A structured hybrid training program based on self-care and self-efficacy will be implemented for the intervention group. The training will be conducted in two sessions, one day per week, over a total of two weeks.

  • Control

    Other intervention

    The control group will not receive any different intervention and will continue the process with routine nursing care (standard treatment).

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Self-Care Self-Efficacy Scale

Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert-type scale, ranging from 1 (not at all confident) to 5 (completely confident). The total score, consisting of four subscales and 10 items, ranges from 10 to 50. Higher scores indicate higher self-care and self-efficacy levels during treatment.

Time frame
Change from before implementation and 4th week of practice
2

Haemodialysis Distress Thermometer Scale

The scale includes a thermometer image, rated from 0 to 10. The participant indicates the overall level of distress they have felt over the past week on this scale. 0 = No distress at all, 10 = Unbearable distress. In the Turkish validation study, scores of 5 and above are generally considered clinical distress.

Time frame
Change from before implementation and 4th week of practice
3

Hemodialysis Comfort Scale

The scale, consisting of two subscales, is rated on a 5-point Likert-type scale (1 = never, 5 = always). The total score from the scale ranges from 9 to 45. Higher scores indicate a higher level of comfort for the individual.

Time frame
Change from before implementation and 4th week of practice
