About this trial
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a health literacy promotion program in preventing chronic kidney disease (CKD) among patients who use multiple medications (polypharmacy). Participants will be divided into two groups: an experimental group receiving the health literacy program and a control group receiving standard care. The study will measure improvements in health literacy levels and CKD prevention behaviors over a specific period. It is expected that the program will help patients better manage their medications and reduce the risk of developing kidney complications.
