Self-Efficacy in Salt Consumption Among Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis
Subject
hemodialysis, salt consumption, self-efficacy
Description
Salt consumption restriction has many advantages in patients on hemodialysis (HD), but it is also very challenging for
them. Self-efficacy is a crucial aspect of successful disease management. Factors related to self-efficacy have been
evaluated in many countries. However, the different demographic characteristics in Indonesia may show different
significant results. Understanding this problem may contribute to the development of nursing interventions and the
patients’ self-management ability while undergoing HD. Hence, the present study aimed to determine the factors
associated with self-efficacy for restricting salt consumption among HD patients. Altogether, 98 HD patients participated
in this cross-sectional study. The Self-efficacy for Restricting Dietary Sodium in Hemodialysis Scale questionnaire was
completed to assess the patients’ self-efficacy. Linear regression was performed to evaluate the relationship between selfefficacy and patient characteristics. The participants’ mean age was 50.11 ± 1.29 years and the mean self-efficacy score
was 73.56 ± 14.85. Mostly, participants were male (60.2%), married (82.7%), and had hypertension (85.7%). Age (p =
0.000; r = 0.384), HD duration (p = 0.004; r = −0.287), and interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) (p = 0.008; r = −0.267)
significantly correlated with self-efficacy for restricting salt consumption. These three variables determined 21% of the
variance of self-efficacy among HD patients. The present study provides primary evidence that age, HD duration, and
IDWG are associated with self-efficacy for restricting salt consumption among HD patients. Thus, nurses could develop
innovative interventions to enhance the self-efficacy among patients with younger age, longer HD duration, and more
IDWG
