Effect of Pecha Kucha Education on Fluid and Diet Adherence in Hemodialysis Patients

NCT07518017 | Not Yet Recruiting

• 1 other identifier: PK-HD-2026
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 70
• Locations: 0 countries
• Sites: N/A

Brief Summary

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of education based on the Pecha Kucha presentation technique on fluid and dietary adherence in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Patients receiving hemodialysis often experience difficulties in adhering to fluid and dietary restrictions, which may lead to adverse clinical outcomes. The Pecha Kucha technique is a structured, visually supported presentation format designed to improve understanding and retention of information. In this study, patients in the intervention group will receive education using the Pecha Kucha method, while the control group will receive standard education routinely provided in the dialysis unit. The study will assess whether this innovative educational approach improves adherence to treatment and clinical parameters. The findings are expected to contribute to improving patient education strategies in hemodialysis care.

Conditions
