| Abstract | Background: Self-care education plays a pivotal role in managing complications and improving treatment outcomes in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the effects of two remote educational modalities, video-based and audio-based instruction, on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and treatment satisfaction among patients undergoing hemodialysis. Given the paucity of comparative studies on remote educational modalities in this population, this study addresses an important gap in evidence-based patient education. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted in 2021. Ninety hemodialysis patients from three medical centers in Mashhad, Iran (Montasariyeh Hospital, Kidney Patients Association, and 17-Shahrivar Hospital) were recruited using convenience sampling and assigned to two intervention groups: video-based education (n = 45) and audio-based education (n = 45). The intervention comprised a 4-week self-care educational program delivered in 8 sessions. Data were collected using the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form, version 1.3 (KDQOL-SF™ 1.3), and a researcher-developed satisfaction questionnaire. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 19 and included descriptive and inferential statistics, paired t-tests, independent t-tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, and Wilcoxon tests. Results: Before the intervention, no significant difference was observed between the two groups in total HRQoL scores (P = 0.666). After the intervention, mean HRQoL scores increased significantly in both the video-based and audio-based groups (P = 0.001). However, no statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups in mean post-intervention HRQoL scores (P = 0.634). Notably, the mean satisfaction score was significantly higher in the video-based group than in the audio-based group (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Both educational modalities effectively improved the quality of life of patients undergoing hemodialysis. However, video-based instruction was more acceptable and may be a more effective tool for patient empowerment, as it generated higher satisfaction levels. Therefore, integrating visual educational aids into routine care programs in dialysis units is recommended. | en |
