Abstract
- Fluid restriction is a major lifestyle change for patients with end stage renal disease who are on hemodialysis. Educating patients about fluid management supports self-management of their prescribed fluid restrictions. Using a pre-test/post-test design, this project aimed to educate 17 patients on chronic hemodialysis about the management of fluid restrictions for improved renal fluid adherence. Post-intervention assessments revealed increased knowledge of hemodialysis treatment and improved renal fluid adherence. Findings suggest that educational interventions help patients improve knowledge of dietary and fluid management, thereby aiding in adherence to fluid restrictions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
