Design: This study used a randomized controlled design. Method: Dialysis Education and Decision Tree Support application developed. Patients who started renal replacement treatment in urgent condition were placed into a Dialysis Education Program group (n=43) and Decision Tree Supported Education Program group (n=43) using the simple random sampling method. Training was provided to both groups using curriculum and training tools during two interviews. The decision tree application was used during an additional third interview with the patients in the "Decision Tree Supported Education Program" group. Data collected using the "Demographical and Clinical Data" form, the "Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care-Patient" Scale, the "Self-Care Ability of Chronic Dialysis Patients Assessment Scale," the "General Quality of Life Scale," and the "Patient Health Survey."
