Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of an individual educational program on self-care knowledge and self-care behavior in kidney transplantation patients. Methods: The kidney transplantation patients were recruited from a transplantation center, at a university hospital located in Korea. Data were collected from June 1, 2010 to January 31, 2011. The research design was a nonequivalent one group pre-post test. Forty-two subjects were participated two times individually in an educational program given by the researcher. Results: After the intervention, the participants showed a significant increase in self-care knowledge(t=-4.10, p=.000) and self-care behavior (t=-6.07, p=.000) than before the intervention. Conclusion: This results suggest that the program developed in this study can be considered an effective nursing intervention for health promotion, prevention of complication and self-care behavior in kidney transplantation patients.
