Summary

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a growing global health issue, with increasing numbers of patients requiring kidney replacement therapy (KRT), particularly in low- and middle-income countries. In Cambodia, the prevalence of CKD is rising, and the demand for hemodialysis treatment is straining healthcare resources. This study aims to develop and evaluate the efficacy of a self-management program focused on improving the knowledge and self-management behaviors of hemodialysis patients in Cambodia. This study will use a quasi-experimental pre- and post-design to improve in patients' knowledge and self-management behavior for CKD patients maintaining on hemodialysis at Siem Reap Provincial Referral Hospital, Cambodia from April 2025 to August 2025. The study population consists of patients undergoing hemodialysis in this hospital who meet the following criteria. The sample size was calculated by using the G Power analysis, on the basis effect size of 0.5, an estimated power of 0.8, and of 0.05. A two tailed test was used to calculate that the sample should be 34 patients. However, because of this pilot nature, we include all patients who meet the inclusion criteria (n= 54). The intervention is designed to provide the self-management program to all participant by the trained nurses. Primary outcome: Patients' self-management behavior, as measured by the researcher-developed questionnaire. Secondary outcome include patient' knowledge score, quality of life, self-monitoring (symptoms, blood pressure, weight, diet, fluid intake, exercise, medication), physical and laboratory data (blood pressure, weight, creatinine, urea) and qualitative data (free comments related to their experience and changes of the participation).

  • Chronic Kidney Disease on Hemodialysis

Interventions

OTHER

Self management education program

After returning home, patients will be encouraged to practice their self-management behaviors and record the behavior and data to the self-monitoring notebook. At their next hemodialysis session, patients will bring their self-monitoring notebook, and the nurse will review the behavior and data, and offering feedback. The nurses will provide additional videos and education, and request the patients to share their experiences with other patients in the hemodialysis room. This cycle of education, self-monitoring, and feedback will continue with each hemodialysis session.
