Brief Summary

This study is a 2-years project. The year 1 project: to assess the effectiveness of implementation of the program in patients with HN. The experimental research design of 2×2 randomized controlled trial with pre and post-testing will be adopted. A total of 70 subjects will be enrolled, and 35 subjects will be randomized into the control group (conventional program) and experimental group (patient-centered self-management program), respectively, using the single-blind design. Firstly, this study will collect the pretest data of the control group and experimental group. The data to be collected include physiological indicators, physical and psychological health, self-efficacy, self-management, and satisfaction, etc. The experimental group will receive the 4-week intervention of program after the pre-test. This study will assess the effectiveness of intervention 1 month later. This study will use generalized estimating equation (GEE) to collect the longitudinal data and test the effectiveness of implementation of program in patients with HN at different time points (after 1, 3, and 6 months). It is expected that the completion of this research project may help improve the effective disease control in the care for patients with HN in Taiwan and improve self-management of disease. Hopefully, the incidence of patients with dialysis can be significantly reduced and the progression into ESRD in patients can be effectively delayed. Moreover, this study also intends propose specific suggestions about the care of patients with HN for industry, government, and academia.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Hypertensive nephropathy self-management instrument (HN-SM)

  The HN-SM: This scale is measured for evaluating the self-management of patients with hypertensive nephropathy in the past week. This scale is composed of 29 items in total, including 4 subscales: self-integration (10 questions), problem-solving (10 questions), seeking social support (5 questions), and compliance behavior (4 questions). This scale used four-point Likert scale for scoring: 1 point for "never", 2 point for "sometimes", 3 point for "often", and 4 point for "always". The total score ranged from 29 to 116 points. The reliability and validity of Cronbach'α was 0.77-0.92. The higher the total score, the better the patients with hypertensive nephropathy self-management.

  1st month, 3th month, and 6th month after recruited.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• World Health Organization-5 Well Being Index (WHO-5)

  1st month, 3th month, and 6th month after recruited.

• The hypertensive nephropathy self-efficacy instrument (HN-SE)

  1st month, 3th month, and 6th month after recruited.

Study Arms (2)

PCSMP

EXPERIMENTAL

Patient-centered self-management program for patients with hypertensive nephropathy into 4 units, including: Unit 1: hypertensive nephropathy brief introduction and complications. Unit 2: dietary precautions for patients with hypertensive nephropathy. Unit 3: medication treatments for patients with hypertensive nephropathy. Unit 4: the content included stress management (emotional control, spiritual support). This program was implemented in small groups with 5-10 patients. This study used patient-centered self-management group activity manual as the tool. The group activities with 4 units lasting for 400 minutes were expected to be designed. The group activities were expected to last for 4 weeks and be implemented once per week and 100 minutes per time (including: 90 minutes of group discussion and 5-10 minutes of video-waring).
