The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the behavior modification onimproving hyperphosphatemia in the hemodialysis patients. A quasi-experimental with two-grouppretest-posttest design was used. The subjects were selected from the hemodialysis center of a hospital inTaipei and their serum phosphorus value was above 6.0mg/dl in August, 2004. Subjects were divided byrandom assignment into an experimental group and a control group. They fulfilled the questionnaires ofrelative phosphoric knowledge and behavior before research. The experimental group received behaviormodification, whereas the control group received only regular hyperphosphatemia nursing care. Theythen were written again the questionnaires and taken blood sample for phosphorus value in September.The results indicate that both groups experienced the improvements of knowledge, behavior and serumphosphorus value. Only serum phosphorus value of the experimental group was in the normal range.Study results may provide to improve hemodialysis patients’ serum phosphorus value. |
