Effects of a Self - Management Promotion Program using the Line Application on Knowledge and Chronic Kidney Disease Prevention Behaviors among Risked Patients
Abstract
This quasi-experimental study aimed to examine the effects of a self-management promotion program using the LINE application on knowledge and preventive behaviors related to chronic kidney disease (CKD) among at-risk patients in a community setting. The participants were individuals who had been diagnosed for at least one year with chronic diseases that are known causes of CKD. The purposive sampling method was used to assign participants into a control group (n = 32), who received standard nursing care, and an experimental group (n = 32), who received standard care in conjunction with the self-management promotion program via the LINE application over a period of six weeks. The educational materials were delivered through an official LINE account. They included eight topics presented in video and infographic formats. Data collection instruments consisted of a knowledge assessment and a CKD prevention behavior questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and t-tests. The results were as follows.
1. The post-intervention mean knowledge score of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group at the .05 level.
2. In the experimental group the post-intervention mean scores for dietary and medication behaviors, exercise behaviors, self-care and follow-up adherence behaviors were significantly higher than those in the control group at the .001 level.
Therefore, community nurses can implement this LINE-based self-management promotion program to enhance CKD-related knowledge and preventive behaviors among at-risk patients in the community.
