“…The results of previous studies and the current study suggest the potential positive effects of the applied method such as absorption of multiple senses to the content, simple content, repeatability, ability of usage while in good physical, spiritual and mental environment. The study by Baraz et al showed that a videobased educational program increased the quality of life of patients on hemodialysis (35). Patients in the control group of the present study had limitations to exploit the advantages of various multimedia approaches and only attended one training session and thus had to save and preserve learned materials during a short period of time, therefore couldn't improve their self-care and ultimately quality of life.…”

Background: Different studies have shown that health level, performance statutes and quality of life in chronic patients are less than the expected level especially in patients with diabetes. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a self-care program with a multimedia software support on quality of life in patients with diabetes type II. Patients and Methods: This study was a randomized controlled clinical trial in which 60 patients who had been referred to the diabetes clinic of Arak city were randomly divided to experimental (n = 30) and control (n = 30) groups. Diabetes Quality of Life Brief Clinical Inventory was used for determining the quality of life. Data were collected before and two months after the intervention for both groups. An educational program with equal content was conducted for both the experimental group (self-care program with multimedia software support in two sessions) and control group (lecture and presentation with PowerPoint in one session). Data analysis was made by the SPSS 16 software. Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups in mean scores of quality of life before the intervention (P = 0.97) while after the intervention, the difference between the two groups was significant (P = 0.029). Applying the self-care program with software support improved quality of life of the experimental group after the intervention (P < 0.0001) while there was no significant difference in mean score of quality of life in the control group after eight weeks (P = 0.051). Conclusions: According to the results of this study, the examined method is a simple, cheap, effective and attractive intervention program for patients with diabetes.

“…In Avci study, the multimedia education leaded to increase breast self-examination (Avci et al, 2009). In several studies, the effectiveness of multimedia education in diabetic patients' quality of life (Boren et al, 2006;Noohi et al, 2011;Abumasoudi et al, 2015), patients with prostate cancer (Baraz et al, 2014) and patients under hemodialysis has approved. Moreover, in Hatefnia's study, the effectiveness of group education to perform mammography has been reported which is consistent with the current study (Hatefnia et al, 2010), but in Hajian's study, the group education could not lead to increase mammography which can be due to hold group education sessions as a lecture without group discussion (Hajian et al, 2011).…”

Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. One way to decrease the burden of this cancer is early detection through mammography. This study compared the effectiveness of two different educational methods for teachers' uptake of mammography based on the Health Belief Model. Materials and Methods: The current study was a randomised trial of 120 teachers over 40 years old in two groups receiving multimedia or group education, both based on the Health Belief Model. Participants completed questionnaires before, immediately and three months after educational intervention. Mammography was evaluated before and after educational intervention. Results: The participants in the two groups were demographically similar. Comparison showed no difference noted in the scores of knowledge, perceived barriers, susceptibility, and severity constructs between two groups (p > 0.05). Health motivation and benefit were perceived to be higher in the group education compared to the multimedia group. There was a significant difference in mammography between two groups after the intervention (p= 0.003). Conclusions: Planning and implementation of educational program based on the Health Belief Model can raise knowledge and increase participation in mammography especially with group education.

“…Another study by Ebrahimi and Sadeghi (2014) on 99 patients under hemodialysis showed that NEP leads to decreased levels of creatinine, sodium, potassium, phosphor, calcium, and albumen (25). Baraz et al (2014) also investigated the effect of education on biochemical parameters of 63 patients under hemodialysis in 2 groups of oral and visual educations. In this study, oral education led to a significant decrease in creatinine, phosphate, uric acid, and blood urea nitrogen, but no significant effect was found in other parameters such as albumen, calcium, and potassium (23).…”

“…The most important health care purposes for patients under hemodialysis are to prevent malnutrition and have suitable nutrition to delay renal osteodystrophy by controlling serum calcium and phosphor; and finally, to encourage the patients to use appropriate nutrition (3,9). Therefore, these patients need special and continuous ed- ucation (10).…”

Background: Nutrition is considered an important part of treatment in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Therefore, poor nutrition leads to decreased life quality and increased complications of hemodialysis as well as mortality in these patients. This study aimed at investigating the effect of nutrition education program (NEP) on biochemical parameters among patients undergoing hemodialysis. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 30 patients who referred to hemodialysis unit at Ayatollah Taleghani hospital in Urmia province, Iran. The sampling method was purposive. Data were collected through interviews and data collection instruments consisted of demographic questionnaires and checklist. In the pre-education stage, the demographic questionnaire was completed and a 2-month average of biochemical parameters (sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphor, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine) were measured and recorded in the checklist by the researcher. Then, the patients received four 30-minute educational sessions on nutrition using learning assistant tools. Two months after the education program, the laboratory results were measured and recorded again by the researcher. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 14 and paired t test, and significance level was set at 0.05 (P < 0.5). Results:The findings revealed a significant decrease in sodium, potassium, calcium, blood urea nitrogen (P < 0.05), but no significant difference was found in the laboratory results of phosphor and creatinine (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The implementation of nutrition education program (NEP) for patients under hemodialysis can improve biochemical parameters as well as complications resulting from their imbalance. Therefore, this program is recommended for this group of patients.
