No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In recent years, applications designed specifically to encourage physical activity in the field of mobile technology have gained momentum. As a result of the literature research, no examples of mobile health applications developed with educational content on fistula care, which hemodialysis-dependent patients can reach at any time and place, have not been found. Based on this, it was planned to increase the knowledge level of arteriovenous fistula care and examine their self-care behaviors and their adaptation to the disease with the mobile application developed with a focus on education on fistula care, which can be used independently by machine-dependent hemodialysis patients. In this context, it is aimed that dialysis patients will benefit especially in arteriovenous fistula care applications, thanks to the ever-increasing mobile applications in daily use with the developing technology. It is thought that the use of these technology-based trainings will be more comfortable, useful and encouraging for their own self-care. It is planned to be a guide for healthcare professionals.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

experimental group

The arteriovenous fistula care mobile health application will be installed and promoted on the smart phones of the patients in the experimental group. Arteriovenous fistula care mobile health application will be installed in daytime groups during working hours during or at the end of dialysis according to the patient's request. In addition, the information contained in the arteriovenous care mobile health application will be verbally explained to the patients and their relatives, as well as shown in practice. The training results were evaluated by the researcher in the 1st and 3rd months in the "Scale for Evaluation of Self-Care Behaviors Related to Arteriovenous Fistula in Hemodialysis Patients", "Final Level of Renal Failure Compliance Scale", "Arteriovenous Fistula Care Education Knowledge Level Evaluation Form (Post-Training Section)" and " Visual Benchmarking Scale ".

BEHAVIORAL

control group

Patients in the control group will receive arteriovenous fistula care training and a training booklet will be given. The information contained in the booklet will be explained orally to the patients and their relatives by the researcher, and will also be shown in practice. The results of the training were determined by the researcher at the 1st and 3rd months of the "Self-Care Behaviors Scale for Arteriovenous Fistula in Hemodialysis Patients", "End Stage Renal Failure Compliance Scale", "Arteriovenous Fistula Care Training Information Level Assessment Form (Post-training section)" and "Visual It will be evaluated with the "Comparison Scale".
