Subscribe/Renew Journal
Successful treatment of patients with end-stage renal failure requires, in addition to dialysis, strict control of dietary, fluid and medication intake. Patient education provides a vehicle for increasing the self-management of chronic illness and promoting modifications of life styles. The purpose of the study was to find the effectiveness of Individual Education Intervention on attitude level and compliance level regarding therapeutic regimen. An evaluatory approach with one group pre-test post-test design is adopted for the study. Statistical analysis of data revealed that Individual Education Intervention regarding therapeutic regimen was effective in improving the attitude (t=11.47, P <0.05) and compliance (t=5.67, P <0.05)
