Self-Management Micro-Video Health Education Program for Hemodialysis Patients

Abstract

Self-management in hemodialysis patients is critical; however, is generally low. This study aimed to examine the effects of a theory-based micro-video health education program on the improvement of self-management, hemodialysis knowledge, and self-efficacy in hemodialysis patients. A pre-test post-test control group quasi-experimental design was used to recruit 80 hemodialysis patients in a dialysis center. The participants were assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive routine care or a 3-month micro-video health education program. Between-group comparison showed that patients in the intervention group had significantly greater improvement in hemodialysis knowledge than those in the control group ( p < .05). However, no significant group differences were observed in terms of self-management and self-efficacy. Within-group comparison showed that the overall self-management level of patients in both groups improved significantly, particularly in problem-solving skills and self-care dimensions. Therefore, micro-video health education can improve the self-management and hemodialysis knowledge in Chinese patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Comparing the effects of mHealth application based on micro-learning method and face-to-face training on treatment adherence and perception in haemodialysis patients: a randomised clinical trial

“…Another report on heart transplant patients also revealed that using educational software packages had improved adherence to medication therapy 33. Results of another study which used a micro-video health education programme in HD patients showed this method significantly improved self-management and self-efficacy 34. Contrary to the results of the present study, kidney transplant patients in another investigation had about 63.6% treatment adherence with no adherence to medication using a mobile application 35.…”

The effect of video‐based fistula care education on hemodialysis patients' self‐care behaviors: A randomized controlled study

“…The another study examined the effects of the self‐care management video program on patients undergoing hemodialysis and found a statistically significant increase in self‐care knowledge levels in both experimental ( t = −5.27, p < 0.001) and control groups ( t = −2.98, p = 0.007) [20]. Similarly, in their study examining the use of micro‐video training for self‐care management for hemodialysis patients, their reported serious differences in patients' self‐care management according to pre‐test and post‐test results [21]. It was reported for in‐group comparisons that patients in the intervention group showed a significant improvement in the mean scores of self‐care management compared to baseline.…”

“…Patients who were admitted to a private hemodialysis center in Kayseri between October and December 2022 were included in the study. The sample group was calculated via G Power based on the sample groups of the studies in the literature [20,21]. The power analysis was done using the G.Power 3.1.9 program and effect size was calculated according to Cohen's f (0.02 low, 0.15 medium, and 0.35 large) and based on a 20% deviation (0.12) from the medium effect size (0.15).…”

Self‐management experiences of haemodialysis patients with self‐regulatory fatigue: A phenomenological study

“…However, haemodialysis patients' self-management is not ideal (Ren et al, 2021). It is difficult for haemodialysis patients to maintain lifestyle changes in the long term (Brioni et al, 2021).…”

“…Effective self‐management can reduce the incidence of complications and improve patients' quality of life (Noviana & Zahra, 2021). However, haemodialysis patients' self‐management is not ideal (Ren et al, 2021). It is difficult for haemodialysis patients to maintain lifestyle changes in the long term (Brioni et al, 2021).…”
