View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
This study evaluates the effect of a Health Belief Model (HBM)-based educational intervention on pruritus severity and pruritus-related quality of life (QoL) in hemodialysis patients. The cluster-randomized controlled trial includes hemodialysis patients allocated to an intervention group and a control group. The intervention group receives two face-to-face HBM-based education sessions at 15-day intervals supported by a structured booklet, while the control group receives standard care. Pruritus outcomes and quality of life are assessed using the 5-D Itch Scale and ItchyQoL to determine the effectiveness of theory-driven educational frameworks in routine nursing care and patient-centered outcomes.
