People receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) are often faced with technical difficulties while performing self‐dialysis, which can compromise outcomes and health‐related quality of life. This mixed‐methods exploratory sequential study aims to implement a repeated‐measures experimental design to assess the effectiveness of a self‐management retraining program. The sample consisted of 41 participants living with chronic kidney disease aged 20 to 80 years who were receiving CAPD. Participants were purposively selected and randomized into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received the self‐management retraining program. The control group received standard care. We compared health‐related quality of life, self‐management behavior, and perceived self‐management self‐efficacy levels at baseline and 3 and 6 months after enrollment. Participants demonstrated statistically significant increases in self‐management behavior (medical adherence) and mental health status. Perceived self‐efficacy in self‐management was improved; however, this change did not reach statistical significance. We conclude that an self‐management retraining program can improve self‐management, self‐efficacy behaviors, and health‐related quality of life in persons receiving CAPD.
Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to investigate and evaluate the new performance measurement model for the Thai frozen shrimp chain.
Design/methodology/approach
– The performance measurement model was developed by the combination method between a structural equation modeling and an analytical hierarchy process, which the method confirmed and proved the construction of the framework and identified the important key performance indicators of the chain from different supply chain members’ point of views.
Findings
– The results showed that the model is reliable and valid as well as being theoretically acceptable on the basis of performance measurement foundations. Furthermore, the financial and the customer perspectives are demonstrated as the first to be prioritized in order to evaluate the performance.
Research limitations/implications
– Two limitations should be considered. First, small sample size of this study is a limitation. Hence, further study should consider on enough sample size. A next limitation, different points of view from participants has effect on factor loading which represented minus value on the research model. Therefore, the future research should apply several techniques, such as the fuzzy set and data envelopment analysis.
Originality/value
– The contribution of this study is the new performance measurement model which based on the integrated conceptual ideas and the synthesizing methods for evaluating the Thai frozen shrimp chain.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
