Abstract
Patients who survive major illnesses often experience long-term impairments in their functional abilities. Educating them about their condition and responsibilities is essential for better health outcomes. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a major global health concern, particularly in developing countries like India, where 90% of patients cannot afford treatment. Over one million people worldwide depend on dialysis or a kidney transplant, and CKD incidence has doubled in the past 15 years. To address this, a study was conducted to assess the learning needs of hemodialysis patients and to develop and evaluate a Self-Instructional Module (SIM) for home care. A descriptive evaluative research design was adopted, involving 60 conveniently selected patients from a hospital dialysis unit. A structured questionnaire was used, covering demographics, learning needs, and SIM effectiveness. Findings showed that 73% of participants had average knowledge, and only 8% had good knowledge. A significant improvement in post-test scores (P<0.0001) confirmed the SIM's effectiveness, especially in areas like dialysis care, fistula management, diet, complications, and coping strategies. However, knowledge gains were not significantly influenced by demographic factors (P>0.05). The study concludes that hemodialysis patients have varied but critical educational needs. The SIM effectively enhanced their knowledge, supporting the hypothesis that structured education improves patient understanding and home management capabilities.
