The sample consisted of 60 new hemodialysis patients from the Chronic Hemodialysis Unit at Uttaradit Hospital, divided into a control group and an experimental group of 30 patients each. The research instruments included: 1) a self-management program, 2) a self-care behavior questionnaire for new hemodialysis patients, and 3) the 9-Thai Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) scale. The reliability of instruments 2 and 3 was determined by Cronbach's alpha which was .84 and .72, respectively. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and statistical tests including Chi-square, Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test, and Mann Whitney U Test.</p> <p>The results showed that, 1) after participating in the self-management program, the experimental group exhibited significantly higher scores in self-care behaviors and quality of life compared to pre-program participation at a .05 significance level. 2) after participating in the self-management program, the experimental group had significantly higher scores in self-care behaviors and quality of life than the control group at a .05 significance level.</p> <p>This study demonstrates that the self-management program effectively improved self-care behaviors and quality of life, suggesting its potential as a valuable approach to promote self-management, prevent complications, and reduce hospitalization costs in new hemodialysis patients.</p> Ratree Auykhaew Sasidhorn Chidnayee Copyright (c) 2025 Journal of Nursing and Health Science Research https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2025-11-03 2025-11-03 17 2 e280019 e280019
