Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining The Effect of Leventhal's Self-Regulatory Model on the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Strategies in Hemodialysis Patients
Design
In this study, patients will be selected by convenience sampling. Then, individuals will be randomly assigned to the groups using the simple randomization method with balanced blocks. Randomization will be performed using the randomization method with balanced blocks with a block size of 4. 180 participants (90 in each group) will be invited to participate.
Settings and conduct
This will be a randomized controlled clinical trial in patients undergoing hemodialysis at Booali Hospital. The study will involve implementing Leventhal's Model in the intervention group and providing routine care in the control group. Also, we will not have blinding.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Willingness to participate in the research and complete the consent form, Full consciousness and the ability to communicate, People over 18 years old, Being literate in reading and writing in the Persian language, Starting, Hemodialysis at least 3 months ago, having access to a phone or mobile for follow-up
Intervention groups
The intervention will consist of 2 sessions, each lasting 30 to 45 minutes. The educational sessions will focus on the cognitive representations discussed in Leventhal's self-regulation model (identity, cause, timeline, consequences, control, and treatment).

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Initially, eligible individuals will be selected based on accessibility. Then, for random allocation considering the two-group nature of the study, a randomization method with balanced blocks of size 4 will be employed. To determine the sequence of allocations using the 4-block method, online random allocation software (https://www.sealedenvelope.com/simple-randomiser/v1/lists) will be used. Group identification papers will be placed in sequentially ordered envelopes inside a sealed package to conceal the allocation sequence. This way, the questionnaire with the corresponding code will be assigned to the individual receiving code 1.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: The first educational intervention session begins with exploring patients' beliefs about their illness and perceptions of dialysis using simple, clear language without medical jargon, delivered in short sentences. The focus is on addressing misconceptions the patient may have about the illness. In the second session, after reviewing the previous session's topics, patients are educated on their prognosis, disease duration, treatment methods, complications, and prescribed medications. At the end of each session, a summary of the discussions is reviewed. The content of these sessions is prepared and organized under specialists' supervision, drawing from previous research and medical reference books. In addition to educational sessions, the intervention group will also receive one month of weekly follow-up telephone interventions conducted by the researcher. Call times are determined based on the patient's availability and consent. The content of these calls will focus on encouraging and reinforcing the healthy behaviors taught in the educational sessions, as well as addressing any questions and assessing patient progress within the framework of Leventhal's self-regulation model (identity, cause, timeline, consequences, control, and treatment).
