Abstract

          This study aimed to compare the frequency of accurate practice in self-care of chronic kidney disease patients treated with hemodialysis before and after group process education. This is a quasi-experimental research. All 45 chronic kidney disease patients treated with hemodialysis at Ban Muang Hospital were enrolled. Instead of using the traditional education, classroom-like process and one-way communication, the researcher has developed the supported model for patient self-care, group process education, in which the patients can exchange the knowledge and ideas with each other and also with the educators. The new model was applied from February 15^th, 2018 to June 15^th, 2018. The frequency of accurate practice in self-care before and after group process education was compared using t-test statistics. The result showed that after group process education, the average frequency scores of accurate practice in self-care of chronic kidney disease patients treated with hemodialysis increased significantly from 29.07; SD 1.94 to 37.33; SD 1.87 (p < 0.01).
