EFFECTS OF TELENURSING IN PREDIALYSIS PATIENTS
Sponsor: Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the effect of tele-nursing practices on quality of life and clinical outcomes in predialysis patients with chronic kidney disease. The study will be conducted with patients diagnosed with stage 3A, 3B, or 4 chronic kidney disease who are followed in a nephrology outpatient clinic. Participants will be assigned to intervention and control groups. Patients in the intervention group will receive a structured tele-nursing program including patient education, telephone or online follow-up, reminders, and counseling for disease management. Patients in the control group will continue to receive routine outpatient care. Quality of life, medication adherence, self-care management, blood pressure, body weight, edema status, and laboratory parameters such as eGFR, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, albumin, hemoglobin, and bicarbonate will be evaluated at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. The study is expected to show whether tele-nursing support can improve quality of life, self-care behaviors, treatment adherence, and clinical outcomes in predialysis patients.

Participants in the experimental group will receive a 9-week structured telenursing program in addition to routine nephrology outpatient care. The program is designed to improve self-care skills, enhance treatment adherence, and support disease management among predialysis patients with chronic kidney disease. During the first week, participants will be provided with an educational booklet containing essential information about chronic kidney disease and predialysis care. In the following weeks, individualized education, counseling, and follow-up services will be delivered through telephone calls, WhatsApp messaging, and video consultations when necessary. The telenursing program will cover the following topics: Chronic kidney disease and disease management Kidney-friendly nutrition practices Fluid intake management Medication adherence and safe medication use Physical activity and exercise recommendations Early recognition and management of symptoms Development of self-care behavio
