Why is it important?
In line with these results; it can be suggested that nurses detect deficiencies in diet practices of the patients in order to facilitate diet compliance in patients undergoing hemodialysis, provide diet education regularly and these parameters which can be continuously changeable are followed up. Bio-impedance results are important to evaluate the volume status of the patients and to plan nursing interventions accordingly.
Perspectives
Significant differences were found in the following values before and after education in the study; values of blood pressure (systolic p:0.012, diastolic p:0.013) weight during undergoing dialysis (p:0.000) values of sodium and potassium before and after dialysis ECW value.
