Abstract:

A. Background: Excretory organs are confined to the removal of wastes, transport of waste materials, and excess or toxic substance from the body. Among all excretory organs, kidneys play a vital role in the excretion of waste products from the body. The primary aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of the Self Instructional Module among chronic renal failure patients receiving hemodialysis at Sahara Hospital, Gomtinagar, Lucknow.

B. Methods: A quantitative, pre-experimental research design was used for this study; 60 chronic renal failure patients receinghemodialysis were selected through the purposive sampling technique of Sahara Hospital, Gomtinagar, Lucknow. A structured knowledge questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge regarding self-care among chronic renal failure patients receiving haemodialysis.

C. Results: The knowledge score test indicates that out of 60 chronic renal failure patients, 22 (36.33%) have good knowledge, and 38 (63.33%) have average knowledge on self-care. The result revealed that the mean value of knowledge score in pre-test is 52.66%, and standard deviation (SD) is 3.702, and mean value of knowledge score in post-test is 80.00%, and standard deviation (SD) is 3.661. The Chi-square test revealed that there is a significant association between educational status, source of knowledge, duration of hemodialysis, and pre-test knowledge.

D. Conclusion: The study concluded that the self-instructional module on self-care among patients receiving haemodialysis was effective as a teaching strategy.
