Both groups were asked to complete the questionnaire again immediately afterthe intervention and also 2 months later.RESULTS: The repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed a significant differencebetween the two groups in terms of the extent of change in mean scores over the three measurementstages (before the intervention, after the intervention, and 2 months after the intervention) (P < 0.001).A statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of self-efficacyscores in the postintervention and follow-up stages (P < 0.05). The repeated measures ANOVA alsorevealed a significant difference between the two groups in terms of the extent of change in meantreatment adherence scores over the three measurement stages (P < 0.001).CONCLUSION: Considering the positive effects of the program on patients undergoing hemodialysis,it is recommended to use the program to promote the well-being of these patients without timerestrictions.
