This study takes place in the Divisions of Nephrology. Patients undergoing renal biopsy were randomized to control group or multimedia information intervention group. The control group received routine care, and the multimedia information intervention group received a multimedia information. After the pre-test, the two groups performed the 1 to 3 post-tests on pre-operation, post-operative day 1 and post-operative day 9. This study used questionnaires that including General Self-Efficacy Scale, Pain Visual Analogy Scale, Visual Analogue Scale for Anxiety, and Positive and Negative Affective Scale.
This study takes place in the Divisions of Nephrology at Chang Gung Memorial Hospitals. Patients undergoing renal biopsy were randomized to control group or multimedia information intervention group. The control group received routine care, and the multimedia information intervention group received a multimedia information. Multimedia information intervention is based on self-efficacy theory. The multimedia videos contain the information associated with renal biopsy, which including the purpose, indications, preparations for the examination, process, patient experience sharing, complications, precautions, home care and stress adjustment strategies. In addition, the investigator also provide face-to-face consultations on answers and clarifications for the content of the videos and telephone consultations to understand the self-care situation of patients on the third day after discharge. After the pre-test, the two groups performed the 1 to 3 post-tests on pre-operation, post-operative day 1 and post-operative day 9. This study used questionnaires that including General Self-Efficacy Scale, Pain Visual Analogy Scale, Visual Analogue Scale for Anxiety, and Positive and Negative Affective Scale. Generalized Estimating Equations (GEEs) will be used to o analyze data.

General Self-Efficacy Scale
A total of 10 items. A 4-point(1-4) scoring method was adopted. Higher scores indicate higher self-efficacy
Time frame: pretest
General Self-Efficacy Scale
A total of 10 items. A 4-point(1-4) scoring method was adopted. Higher scores indicate higher self-efficacy
Time frame: post-operative day 9
Pain Visual Analogy Scale
It is an actual straight line of 100 mm, of which 0 mm means no pain at all and 100 mm means extreme pain. A higher score indicates greater pain intensity
