Brief summary

This study determined the effect of dietary education given to hemodialysis patients on dietary treatment and symptoms.

Detailed description

Diet therapy is a part of the treatment of hemodialysis patients. In order for the treatment to be effective, it is necessary to comply with the diet. Non-compliance with diet treatment affects the symptoms experienced by the patient, resulting in morbidity, low quality of life and mortality. Knowing patients' compliance with diet therapy is important in ensuring symptom control. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of diet therapy on symptom management in hemodialysis patients.

Masking description

While the patients were randomized; In order to keep the possibility of being affected by each other at a minimum level, the study was continued with the same application group in the same session group. For example; It's like working only with the robot cat group in the 08:00-12:00 session group on Mondays. In order to reduce the possibility of selection bias due to sample selection, single-stage cluster type random sampling, which is a subtype of random sampling, was used. In addition, before the study, patients were informed about the study and their consent was obtained.

Intervention model description

using G\*Power 3.1.9.2. The sample size was deemed sufficient (experiment=30; control=30), and the study was concluded. Participants were selected using a lottery method, and data were collected through a singleblind randomization process.
