Aims: Chronic diseases need to be cared for, increasing and improving quality of life. Chronic kidney disease is increasing all over the world and is a public problem for worldwide health, and some hemodialytic patients need an arteriovenous fistula. Self-care with arteriovenous fistula has a long history, and several studies have investigated it, but the health belief model has not been investigated. Seemingly, the HBM can improve it. This study aimed to investigate the effect of educational interventions based on NBM for promoting fistula care behaviors of hemodialysis patients.
Materials & Methods: Seventy hemodialytic patients with arteriovenous fistula were assigned into two groups: control and intervention. The authors designed a questionnaire that included awareness, perceived susceptibility, severity, barriers and benefits, and self-efficacy. The questionnaire was distributed before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and two months after the intervention. Instructional media and individual consultations were used as intervention periods.
Findings: The educational intervention did not have a significant effect on awareness (p>0.05) but increased perceived susceptibility, severity, barriers and benefits, and self-efficacy (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Educational interventions based on the health belief model promote fistula healthcare behaviors among hemodialytic patients.
