Abstract
Background: End-stage renal disease affects both quality of life and financial status. Self-management to prevent kidney diseases and slow kidney failure among risk groups can help increase awareness and improve health behaviors to inhibit end-stage renal failure.
Objectives: To compare knowledge, attitude, behaviors, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) before and after the intervention.
Materials and methods: This quasi-experimental one-group pre-post design research was based on the notion of self-management by Creer. The sample comprised 41 personnel who were at risk of kidney disease, consisting of 21 nurse lecturers and 20 back-office staff in Phrapokklao Nursing College. The research tool for data collection was a questionnaire composed of 3 parts: knowledge, attitude, and behavior. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and paired t-test.
Results: The mean scores of knowledge to prevent kidney diseases and slow kidney failure and eGFR were not significantly different comparing before and after the intervention (t = 1.65, p = 0.11 and t = 0.20, p = 0.84). However, after the intervention, the mean scores of attitude and behavioral change to prevent kidney diseases and slow kidney failure were significantly higher than those before the intervention (t = 3.54, p < 0.001 and t = 4.09, p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Self-management to prevent kidney diseases and slow kidney failure could increase proper attitudes and behavioral change. However, it did not affect knowledge and eGFR of the risk group.
