The Effect of Self- care Education Program on Self- transcendence in Patients under Hemodialysis based on self-trandence Theory

Patients under hemodialysis should be aware of their self- care needs. Self- care programs make it easy for patients to adapt to the chronic condition of nursing theory based on nursing theories. This study was performed to determine the effect of self- care education program on Reed self- trandence theory in undergoing hemodialysis patients. This study was a randomized controlled trial with two groups of intervention and control that was performed on 60 patients undergoing hemodialysis, a 122-bed center of hemodialysis in Imam Reza Hospital in Tabriz during 2016-2017. Sampling method was simple random sampling. Data collection tools were 3 demographic information questionnaires, educational needs assessment and self- trandence, which were completed before and two weeks after the intervention by both groups. The intervention group received 6 sessions of face to face training (30-25 minutes), once a week, individually with patient participation, based on Reed's self- trandence theory and educational needs and was presented at the last session of the booklet. For data analysis, descriptive and inferential statistics (independent t-test and paired t-test) were used and analyzed using SPSS software version 22. The mean of self- trandence scores after intervention in the group intervention was higher than that of the control group. There was a significant difference between the mean scores of self- trandence after intervention in both groups (P < 0.001). Self- care nursing care based on the theory of Reed self- trandence with low cost and without the need for advanced clinical services, increases the health of patients under hemodialysis
