Comparison the effect of infographic and pamphlet on laboratory indices and weight in patients under hemodialysis

Comparison of the effect of education through pamphlets and mapping information on laboratory indicators and weight of patients undergoing

Educational intervention, two-way blind and parallel and on 234 people. Randomized, three groups, randomization by random block method

Before starting the educational program (sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus) and the weight of the patients during the last month will be recorded by the researcher. The patients will be randomly divided into three groups at the Hami dialysis center and the intervention will begin. 2 and 6 weeks After the intervention, weight and (sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus) are measured again. The participant, clinical caregiver, data analyst, and outcome assessor are blinded.

Inclusion: Verbal communication skills, the desire to participate in the current study, At least 3 months of dialysis history with at least two dialysis sessions per week, not participating in other educational sessions related to therapeutic nutrition in the last year, ability to read exclusion: Long-term transfer/admission to other medical centers, visual and hearing problem

In the infographic, information will be presented to the patients in 2 training sessions for 20-30 minutes and in groups of 4-6 people, face to face and one week apart. In the first session, how to use the infographic, and the second session will be dedicated to solving the ambiguity and answering the patients' questions. In the pamphlet group, the training sessions in terms of content, number of sessions, and presentation duration are similar to the infographic group, but in the form of a pamphlet. During this time, control group samples will simply receive routine care as before.

Weight, sodium, potassium, phosphorus, calcium

In this research, patients will be selected by census method and will be assigned to three groups (infographic, pamphlet, control) in a block random manner.Before block randomization, the letter A will be assigned to the Infographic group, the letter B will be assigned to the pamphlet group, and the letter C will be assigned to the control group And in this way, after the randomization, the names of the patients will be written in alphabetical order, and in the opposite column, the letters B, A, and C will be randomly placed in front of the names of each patient.In the block randomization method, each person has an equal chance to be placed in each of the three groups. (Although in this study, all patients will participate in a census, however, for more certainty, according to the analysis of the respected professor of statistics, 40 people will be included in each group)

In each shift, in coordination with the patients and the head of the center, in order to prevent information leakage during the presentation of educational content between patients in different groups, the infographic group will be placed in the first floor, the pamphlet group will be placed on the ground floor, and the control group will be placed on the basement floor.In order to prevent the leakage of information between different groups, as much as possible, groups that are related by family will be in separate groups.

After the request is received and reviewed by the research team, the cooperation will be done.

One year after the publication of the article and if the corresponding author agrees, the access request will be reviewed.

All applicants can access the information.
