Summary
A new self-management program for chronic kidney disease (CKD) was developed using a systematic review and expert validation. This program provides guidelines for clinical caregivers to improve patient care and outcomes in CKD management.
Area of Science:
- Nephrology
- Public Health
- Health Services Research
Background:
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant global public health concern with high prevalence.
- Self-management programs are increasingly used for chronic diseases, including CKD interventions.
- A comprehensive clinical application program for CKD self-management is currently lacking.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a structured self-management program for chronic kidney disease (CKD) through a systematic review.
- To create evidence-based guidelines for the clinical application of CKD self-management.
Main Methods:
- A systematic literature search was conducted across multiple databases (CEPS, PubMed, CINAHL, etc.).
- 22 relevant studies (4 systematic reviews, 10 randomized, 8 non-randomized experimental) were analyzed.
- Empirical evidence was synthesized to draft guidelines, which were then validated by expert panels.
Main Results:
- A comprehensive self-management program for CKD was designed, detailing principles, categories, elements, and interventions.
- The program's content validity was assessed using the Content Validity Index (CVI).
- The developed self-management program achieved a high content validity score of 0.98.
Conclusions:
- A practical self-management program for CKD has been successfully developed.
- The program guidelines offer a valuable reference for clinical caregivers to enhance CKD healthcare practices.
- This initiative aims to improve the delivery of care for patients with chronic kidney disease.

Nursing management is essential for preventing complications, maintaining stability, and improving patients' quality of life in chronic kidney disease (CKD). By using a structured approach, nurses help slow CKD progression and support effective patient care.1. Comprehensive patient assessmentEffective management begins with nurses reviewing the patient’s medical history, and identifying key risk factors like diabetes, hypertension, and nephrotoxic drug use. Nurses assess signs of...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires collaborative and comprehensive management. CKD progresses through stages and can lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) if untreated. Interprofessional collaboration and patient education are crucial, enabling patients to manage their health and improve their quality of life.Diagnostic approach for chronic kidney diseaseThe diagnosis of CKD primarily focuses on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which assesses kidney function by measuring how well...

1.3K
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) arises when the kidneys progressively lose their ability to function, ultimately leading to end-stage renal disease. At this advanced stage, the kidneys can no longer filter waste or maintain essential body functions, requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) through dialysis or a kidney transplant for survival.Early-stage chronic kidney disease and detection challengesIn CKD's early stages, symptoms often remain absent because healthy nephrons compensate for...

Postoperative Nursing Management for Kidney Transplant PatientsPostoperative nursing management care includes monitoring the surgical site, encouraging early movement, and promoting lung health through breathing exercises. Nurses also administer prescribed medications like H2-blockers, such as famotidine, or proton pump inhibitors, like omeprazole, to help prevent gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding. Fungal infections in the mouth and bladder can result from immunosuppressive and antibiotic...

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) progressively impairs multiple body systems due to the accumulation of uremic toxins, which disrupt cellular functions across various organs.Neurologic symptomsNeurologic symptoms often arise early in CKD, as uremic toxin buildup drives changes in cognitive and motor functions. Patients frequently experience fatigue, headache, confusion, difficulty concentrating, and, in severe cases, seizures. Peripheral neuropathy commonly manifests as burning sensations in the...

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) results in an inability to maintain fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance. Effective nursing management is critical in improving patient outcomes and includes comprehensive patient assessment and targeted interventions.Comprehensive Patient AssessmentA detailed history collection is essential, focusing on any recent infections, nephrotoxic medication use, or chronic conditions such as hypertension and diabetes that may contribute to AKI. During the physical...
