Abstract

This quasi-experimental research was designed to study the effect of empowerment program on self-care behavior in patients with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients at the dialysis room in Chaiyaphum Hospital. The data was collected during January to March, 2012. Simple sampling was applied to randomized 30 samples divided into 2 groups including 15 patients in control group and 15 patients in experimental group. The first group was treated by using individual empowerment with 6 activities under 4 stages during 8 weeks. In contrast, the latter group was normally treated. The empowerment program on self-care behaviors in the patients with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis was conducted as research tool while general data form and interview form were used to gather the information about the self-care behavior in the patients with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients. These forms had a reliability of .80 and were analyzed by descriptive statistics and t-test. The results found that the scores of self-care behavior of experimental group were higher than before at-tending the program with a statistical significance level of 0.05 and the control group with a statistical significance level of 0.01
