Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining the effect of self-care training program on self-efficacy and quality of life of hemodialysis patients
Design
A two-group clinical trial with a control group, with parallel groups, randomized, with the participation of 100 patients.
Settings and conduct
The present study will be conducted as a two-group randomized clinical trial with the participation of 68 patients undergoing hemodialysis referred to Shahid Beheshti hospital in Hamedan in 2023. Patients will be randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. In the intervention group, the self-care training program will be carried out. The sessions of the self-care training program will be held during 6 sessions during two weeks for 10-15 minutes exclusively for each person, on each patient's bed. Evaluation of self-efficacy and quality of life after self-care training intervention will be done one and two months after the last care session. In order to achieve more patients' participation and to minimize sample loss, an electronic questionnaire will be used to complete the questionnaire (one and two months after the intervention) in both groups. Patients in the control group will receive only the routine care of the department and no special action will be taken for them.
