Abstract
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: This prospective observational pilot study was conducted in hyperphosphatemic chronic kidney disease patients undergoing maintenance haemodialysis aimed at determining the effect of phosphate binders on serum levels of calcium & phosphorous, to seek Knowledge Attitude & Practice and Medication Adherence of the patients. The possible factors for non-adherence and impact of patient counselling in the participants were also assessed. METHODOLOGY: Pre Hemodialysis results of calcium and phosphorous were analysed over 3 months. KAP scores were assessed by using KAP questionnaire and adherence was assessed using Adherence to Refills and Medication Scale. RESULTS: A total of 10 patients were taken for this pilot study. Out of this 9 were male and 1 female. All the patients got effective hyperphosphatemic management with phosphate binders which altered the serum calcium and phosphorous levels except on patient who was on calcitriol. The knowledge, attitude and practice of the patients were assessed seperately and improved with proper education. Similarly adherence is improved after giving patient counselling. Some of the possible factors for non-adherence were also assessed like availability, size, price etc. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, all patients receive proper effect of the drug, most patients have good knowledge of phosphate binders and have positive attitude & practice since most of them were literate. A structured health education approach and counselling sessions remain essential for enhancing patient knowledge, shifting attitudes within a targeted demographic, and promoting treatment adherence, particularly among young and employed individuals.
