The effects of self‐performance management video program on patients receiving hemodialysis

Abstract

Aim This study attempted to investigate the effects of a self‐performance management video program using a tablet PC on self‐care knowledge, self‐care behavior, state anxiety and physiological index in patients receiving hemodialysis. Methods This study was an experimental research design. The participants of this study were 46 patients who were diagnosed with end‐stage renal failure and received hemodialysis on a regular basis in kidney centers (23: experimental group, 23: control group). The data collection period was from November 24, 2016 to January 3, 2017. The program was designed and organized by the researchers of this study according to previous studies consisting of six categories in a total 70‐min video program. The contents of the self‐performance management program were stored on the tablet PC, so that the patients were self‐led. All the patients who participated in the program were asked to complete three categories in a week. Therefore, it took 2 weeks to complete all contents of the six categories. After that, the patients were asked to repeat the 2‐week course twice. Therefore, the program was carried out for a total of 6 weeks. For the control group, a pamphlet was used. Results The anxiety of the experimental group was significantly decreased compared to the control group. Among the physiological index, potassium and albumin levels were statistically significant. Conclusions The self‐performance management video program using a tablet PC developed in this study seems to be applicable to patients receiving hemodialysis who need anxiety and physiological index management.

Effects of a mobile application on improving self‐management of adult patients receiving peritoneal dialysis: A randomized controlled trial

“…This agrees with previous studies conducted on patients with gout (Kang & Lee, 2020) using a self-management mobile application or patients undergoing chronic dialysis using mobile health (Yang et al, 2020). The most significant difference between the SMA in our study and the conventional intervention of self-management in patients on PD based on phone counseling (Chow et al, 2008) or a video program (Cho & Park, 2020) is that the SMA not only delivers the knowledge but also provides directly applicable health behavior logs, blood test management, information on the main drugs, and food nutrition facts related to serum K and P, as well as the alarm function, all of which allow patients to self-check their log and communicate with healthcare professionals on a weekly basis to determine their own behaviors. This supports the results of a previous study (Kang & Lee, 2020), where checking self-care logs and performance levels was effective for improving patients' health behaviors.…”

“…The excretory function is reduced, causing the accumulation of serum K or P in patients on PD (Liu et al, 2016), which predicts the lack of intergroup difference in the level of serum K after the SMA intervention. In contrast, the level of serum K significantly decreased after the use of an educational program in patients undergoing hemodialysis (Cho & Park, 2020). It is conjectured that while the levels of serum K substantially deviated after three times a week of dialysis in the case of hemodialysis, the serum levels remained stable after four times a day of dialysis in the case of PD.…”

Self-Management Micro-Video Health Education Program for Hemodialysis Patients

“…Patients in the intervention group had a significantly higher improvement in the mean score of hemodialysis knowledge than those in the control group, which is mostly consistent with previous studies (Lau et al, 2018; Zeng et al, 2018). However, Cho and Park (2019) conducted a self-performance management video program for hemodialysis patients but failed to find significant improvements in self-care knowledge. The differences in the research results can be explained by the novel design of the current micro-video health education and its 2-week follow-up enhancement.…”

“…The differences in the research results can be explained by the novel design of the current micro-video health education and its 2-week follow-up enhancement. Compared with the videos mentioned in Cho and Park’s (2019) study, the micro-video in our study had a short duration of 10 minutes for each micro-video, with each micro-video focusing on only one knowledge point. That is, the micro-video content concentrated on the knowledge of diet management, anemia, medication, kidney function, and dialysis treatment for hemodialysis patients.…”

The effect of video‐based fistula care education on hemodialysis patients' self‐care behaviors: A randomized controlled study

“…The study reported that kidney transplant patients significantly increased their self‐care knowledge and behaviors after individual video training programs were applied [25]. The another study examined the effects of the self‐care management video program on patients undergoing hemodialysis and found a statistically significant increase in self‐care knowledge levels in both experimental ( t = −5.27, p < 0.001) and control groups ( t = −2.98, p = 0.007) [20]. Similarly, in their study examining the use of micro‐video training for self‐care management for hemodialysis patients, their reported serious differences in patients' self‐care management according to pre‐test and post‐test results [21].…”
