Abstract
Patients with ESRD undergo a complex treatment regimen involving dialysis and a wide range of dietary restriction and lifestyle changes which affects their social and psychological functioning. So it is important to explore the self care management of hemodialysis patients to know how good practices they are having. The informational booklet is one of the effective teaching strategies which can be used for teaching the patients on hemodialysis to promote their compliance with the treatment regimen. Hence the study was undertaken on the exploration of self reported practice regarding home care management among patients undergoing hemodialysis in a view to prepare an informational booklet. Materials and methods: An explorative research design was used for the present study. The participants were about 50 in number and purposive sampling technique was used. Data was collected by administering a self reported practice rating scale. Results: The finding of the study revealed that majority of the patients 58% had good practice in home care management.
