Abstract
Renal failure is a serious medical condition affecting the kidneys. When a person suffers from renal failure, the kidneys are not functioning properly. Renal failure can be a progressive disease. This study was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of VATP on the knowledge regarding selfcare management among patients with chronic renal failure receiving regular hemodialysis, and to find the association between their posttest knowledge level and their selected socio-demographic variables. The research design selected for the present study was one-group pre-test and post-test pre-experimental design, Convenience sampling technique was used to select 40 patients with chronic renal failure receiving regular hemodialysis. Data was collected by using a structured interview schedule from the respondents. VATP was administered after conducting pre-test and post-test was conducted after 7 day of the intervention. Data was analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The mean percentage of post-test knowledge score (85.00%) was higher than that of pre-test knowledge score (34.83%). The t value computed [t (39) = 20.63 P< 0.05} showed a significant difference, which showed that the VATP was effective in enhancing the knowledge among the patients with chronic renal failure on selfcare management of chronic renal failure.
