Özet

Objective: Use of video in patient education is becoming widespread due to its low cost, time management, ease of application, and permanent learning. The study aimed to investigate the effect of video training on the symptom burden, comfort level, and quality of life of patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment. Methods: In this clustered randomized controlled trial, the patients were randomly assigned to groups by lottery method according to hemodialysis treatment days and sessions. Individuals in the intervention group(n = 26) were screened one episode of the training video in each session for three episodes per week for 12 weeks. Individuals in the control group(n = 22) received only conventional hemodialysis without video training. Results: At the third and fourth measurement times, in intervention group, mean scores of symptom burden decreased compared to baseline (respectively:40,12 ± 21,63; 22,31 ± 14,08;21,54 ± 16,78), mean scores of comfort level increased (respectively:102,42 ± 13,45; 111,42 ± 8,00;115,04 ± 9,73)(p < 0.05), while there was no significant difference in control group(p > 0.05). This study observed a statistically significant difference between quality of life scale scores individuals in intervention group(p < 0,05). Conclusion: It was concluded that video training delivered to patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment decreased symptom burden of patients and increased their comfort level, and quality of life. Practice implications: Video training can be utilized in the educational program of hemodialysis patients. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.
