The Effect of Education Given to Hemodialysis Patients With Pecha Kuka Method on Attitude Towards Diet Therapy and Compliance With Fluid Restriction

Overview

Hemodialysis complex treatment regimen includes fluid and diet management. In this context, it is recommended that patients choose foods with low sodium, potassium and phosphorus content, maintain adequate protein intake, and regulate their daily fluid intake not exceeding 1-2 liters. In maintaining the health of hemodialysis patients; It is very important that they comply with the treatment program, diet and fluid restrictions. As the life expectancy increases, the time spent with chronic disease also increases, and both the patient himself and his relatives living in the same house are faced with this chronic disease and accompanying stress factors for a longer period of time, making it difficult for them to adapt to the progression of the disease. Pecha Kucha (PK), meaning "chat voice" or "chat" in Japanese, refers to a well-crafted, fast and concise presentation format. In a PK presentation, each presenter is only allowed to show 20 PowerPoint slides for 20 seconds each on a timer. When the literature was examined, no study was found that evaluated the effect of the education given to hemodialysis patients with the Pecha Kuka method on the attitude towards diet therapy and compliance with fluid restriction. In addition, it is thought that this short and concise education method will contribute to a better understanding of the attitudes of patients receiving hemodialysis treatment towards diet therapy and their compliance with fluid restriction, thus providing important data for future studies.

Diet is one of the most important elements of HD treatment. Kidney disease can be slowed down with diet. There are important issues in the diet of individuals receiving HD treatment. Adequate energy consumption comes first. Individuals receiving HD treatment must meet the energy requirements needed to maintain their health, as well as perform their metabolic functions. Adequate protein intake is one of the important issues in the diet in patients receiving HD treatment. Compliance with disease treatment; it is briefly defined as "individual compliance with medical treatment and health recommendations". During the period of hemodialysis treatment, one of the areas where individuals have difficulty in adapting is diet and fluid restriction. Because the disease and HD treatment directly affect the eating habits and preferences of individuals. As with all chronic diseases, it is very important for individuals who continue HD treatment to comply with the drug treatment program, diet and fluid restrictions in order to maintain their health. refers to a fast and concise presentation format. It was created in 2003 by architects Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham, who hoped to give young designers the opportunity to present their work in a short, fast-paced setting. In a PK presentation, each presenter is only allowed to show 20 PowerPoint slides for 20 seconds each on a timer. In other words, the presenter has only 20 seconds to discuss each slide before the next slide appears, and the presentation time is limited to 6 minutes and 40 seconds. Ideas are explained visually with pictures and graphics, and there is little text on the slides.
