| Abstract: | ObjectiveTo determine the effect of nutrition education program on hemodialysis patients’ quality of life (QoL) and serum electrolytes levels.MethodsThis study was a randomized controlled trial in which 94 eligible hemodialysis patients were randomly assigned to intervention (n = 48) and control (n = 46) groups. In the intervention group, the patients were trained in healthy nutrition for four weeks. After two months, samples of both groups completed the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Instrument (KDQOL) and Na, K, P, Ca and Mg levels were also measured and compared.ResultsThere were no significant differences in QoL scores and electrolytes between the two groups before intervention (p > 0.05). After intervention the QoL scores in the intervention group were significantly higher than in the control group (p < 0.05). However, after intervention the levels of Na, K, P and Mg in the intervention group were significantly lower than in the control group (p < 0.05). Calcium level was not significantly different between the two groups after intervention (p = 0.16).ConclusionThe results showed that e-learning is effective in improving the QoL and serum electrolytes of hemodialysis patients.Practice ImplicationsThis paper could serve as support for clinical healthcare professionals to improve patient knowledge and QoL through virtual education methods. |
