The Effects of Self-Management Promotion on Service Outcomes among Patients with Chronic Diseases and Stage 3 Kidney Dysfunction at a Sub-district Health Promoting Hospital in Nonthaburi Province
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: The number of patients with chronic diseases experiencing stage 3 kidney dysfunction has increased in sub-district health-promoting hospitals. Promoting appropriate self-management plays a significant role in slowing the progression of kidney dysfunction.
Objectives: To study the effects of self-management promotion on service outcomes among patients with chronic diseases and stage 3 kidney dysfunction.
Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study using a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 60 participants: 30 patients with stage 3 kidney dysfunction and 30 caregivers. Research instruments for the patient group included a personal information record form, a health behavior questionnaire, a satisfaction assessment form, and a blood test record for serum creatinine levels. For the caregiver group, tools included a knowledge and caregiving role assessment, and a satisfaction assessment form. Data were analyzed using frequency distribution, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and paired t-test.
Results: The mean health behavior score and patient satisfaction score after participating in the program were significantly higher than before the program (p<.01). Serum creatinine levels after the program were significantly lower than before (p<.05). Additionally, caregivers' knowledge and caregiving roles, as well as their satisfaction scores, were significantly higher after participating in the program (p<.01).
Conclusions: Self-management promotion among patients led to improved health behaviors and a reduction in serum creatinine levels. Caregivers also demonstrated increased knowledge and ability to provide comprehensive and accurate care for the patients.
