Abstract :

A pre–experimental study was conducted to find out the effect of a planned teaching on diet and fluid intake to prevent selected complications among patients on maintenance haemodialysis at selected hospitals, Kolkata with the objectives to identify and analysis complications related to improper diet and fluid intake, to determine knowledge level of haemodialysis patent and also to find out the effect of the planned teaching programme. The conceptual framework of the study was based on Irwin Rosenstock’s Health Belief Model. One group pre–test post–test research design was adopted. Non–probability convenience sampling technique was used to select 30 haemodialysis patents. Patient case study proforma, a semi–structured interview schedule and a structured knowledge interview schedule were used to collect the data. The study findings showed that the mean post test knowledge score (26.83) was higher than the mean pre–test knowledge score (16.66) with a mean difference of 10.17 which was found statistically significant as evident from‘t’ value of 22.6 [‘t’ (29)= 3.4] at 0.001 level of significance indicating the effectiveness of the planned teaching. This study has several implications in nursing education, administration, practice and research. The study was concluded with the recommendation for conducting with larger sample for better generalization of study findings
