Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a life-long chronic disease so in this context, one of the foci in nursing is promoting patient health belief. This report described care experience of a dialysis patient based on the application of the health belief model. The care period was from April 1 to 10, 2013. The author used the health belief model as a guideline, and applied interviews, process records, and chart reviews to collect data for analysis. The results showed that the patient underestimated the threat of the disease. The patient perceived prevention action as obstacles rather than seeing their benefits. Nursing intervention included the following: (1) establishing good interpersonal relationships, (2) applying cognitive techniques, and (3) providing individual health education. In this way, the patient not only attained dietary control, carried out regular exercise but also learned how to monitor blood pressure unaided. The results showed that this approach could increase the perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, and perceived benefits of taking action. Moreover, the perceived obstacles to taking action to control the disease were decreased by this approach. The author expects this report to provide valuable information on improving the quality of care provided by clinical nurses.
