Abstract
Background: “Hemodialysis means cleaning the blood”- and that is exactly what this treatment does. It is a therapy for irreversible renal failure which removes waste products or toxic substances from the blood and must be continued intermittently for the client’s life time, unless successful kidney transplantation is done. Hemodialysis is the most successful and more commonly used renal replacement therapy. It is also associated with infectious complications are the most dangerous which will affect adversely on the treatment process and deteriorates patients existing condition. Aim: Pre Experimental study was conducted to assess effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding prevention of infectious complications among hemodialysis patients. A sample of 50 patients undergoing hemodialysis were selected by purposive sampling technique from selected hospitals of Davanagere. The data collected were analyzed and interpreted based on descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings: The findings revealed that, post test knowledge score M=19.12 (Mean Percentage=76.48) with Standard Deviation 3.25, was higher than the pretest score M = 19.12 (Mean Percentage=48.80) with Standard Deviation 3.78. The obtained mean difference was 6.92 and ‘t’ value, t = - 24.74 (P=.000) was highly significant. Conclusion: It was inferred that the Structured Teaching programme had significantly increased the knowledge on infectious complications and its prevention among Hemodialysis patients.
