Background and Objective: Chronic kidney diseases is an international public health issue, and it has a rising extent, occurrence and significant treatment expenditures. The guidance is a crucial step in raising the standard of dialysis care and improving the results of quality of life for end- stage renal disease patients. Therefore, the study's objectives were to establish, implement, and evaluate the impact of the educational program on hemodialysis patients' quality of life at the study site.
Methods: A quasi-experimental research study was conducted at the Urology Center's hemodialysis units at Golan General Hospital in Akre. Data were collected from 30 adult dialysis patients who were undergoing dialysis regularly.
Results: According to the current study, patients' overall mean quality of life scores increased in many aspects of quality of life (physical, psychological and social) with a statistically significant difference shortly after the program's introduction. This increased level was marginally reduced after a month of program implementation.
Conclusion: The overall quality of life of the patients who underwent the intervention saw an improvement in score, all metrics relating to quality of life and health were significantly improved by the educational program.
