Abstract

Background: The effects of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is fluid retention caused by excessive fluid intake. Lack of knowledge about fluid restriction can be the cause of fluid retention. Health education interventions can overcome this problem because having good knowledge about fluid restriction can affect the success of hemodialysis therapy.

Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of education video and booklet media in knowledge of fluid restrictions among patients with chronic kidney disease.

Method: The research uses a quasi-experimental design with the two groups pre-test post-test design. The population was CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). Sample is based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria that have been built and the sample is 30 HD patients.

Results: Based on independent sample t-test test, the p value was 0.001 (<0.05) so it can be concluded that there is a difference between interventions with booklet and video.

Conclusion: Fluid restriction education to CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis with booklet and video had an effect on the leveled of patient knowledge which characterized by an increased in post-tested scores compared to the pre-tested. There was a difference in influenced between fluid restriction education for patients with CKD undergoing hemodialysis with booklet and video where booklet media is more effective than video.
