Effectiveness of Handout Information on Haemodialysis Patients in Gwalior: A Study

Abstract

Almost 90,000 individuals in India are diabetic (24%), chronic glomerulonephritis (3.7%), chronic interstitial tubular diseases (37%), and nephroclerosis (13%) are the most common underlying diseases. In India almost 90,000 persons develop end-stage renal disorders (ESRDs) per year. The incidence and multi-system and miscellaneous conditions of polycystic kidney diseases account for 5percent (8 percent). Dialysis is the only way to support life for all these patients.ESRD patients undergo a complex dialysis and a number of dietary restrictions and lifestyle changes that affect their social and psychological function.The information booklet is one of the powerful learning methods to improve patients' compliance with the care regimen. The information booklet This is why the research on the efficacy of the information booklet for haemodialysis patients was carried out

Methodologies:In 40 patients with a deliberate sampling, an evaluation approach was used with one post-test group. The pre-test was carried out by a standardised information questionnaire to assess their information of haemodialysis and a new guide and learning brochure was issued. On the eighth day, the after-test was followed using the same structured knowledge questionnaire while the opinionnaire checked that the information booklet was acceptable.

Outcome:In descriptive and inferential statistics, the data collected were analysed. The discrepancy between the mean after-test (X 2 = 38,625) and the median pre-test (X1 = 21,075) was highly important (t39 = 33,36, P < 0,001). The field-specific average percentage of the pre-test information in 'hemodialysis job' was maximum (71,66%) and minimum in the area 'specific' (36,94%)Investigations where the wise average percentage post-test information score for 'control and treatment' was maximal (98.05 percent) and minimal (80 percent). in the field of 'self-care and help'The gains in the information score were significantly related to other variables such as age (?2 = 22,353, p < 0.05), education qualification (?2 = 8,309, p < 0.05), hemodialysis intake frequency (?2 = 4,465 and p < 0.05) and total number of dialysis seminars attended (?2 = 9,965, p < 0.05).93 percent of the subjects approved the information booklet absolutely.
