A Pre Experimental Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Structured Teaching Program STP on Knowledge and Practice Regarding Lifestyle Modification among Chronic Kidney Disease Patients

Background Chronic Kidney Disease is a progressive health condition that affects millions worldwide, with lifestyle playing a crucial role in its management. Patient education is essential in promoting healthier behaviors to slow disease progression and improve quality of life. However, many Chronic Kidney Disease patients have limited knowledge and inadequate practices regarding lifestyle modification. Objectives The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a Structured Teaching Program STP on improving knowledge and practice regarding lifestyle modification among Chronic Kidney Disease patients in a selected hospital at Dehradun. Methodology A quantitative research approach with a pre experimental one group pre test post test design was used to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching program on knowledge and practice regarding lifestyle modification among Chronic Kidney Disease patients. A total of 60 Chronic Kidney Disease patients were selected through non probability purposive sampling. A structured knowledge questionnaire and a practice assessment checklist using likert scale were administered before and after the implementation of the STP. The data collected were collected using a structured questionnaire divided into two section demographic variables and a knowledge questionnaire and practice checklist. The study was conducted at SHRI MAHANT INDRESH HOSPITAL, Patelnagar, Dehradun Uttarakhand. Results Most participants were in the age group of 41–50 years 30 , male 58.3 , and Hindu 66.6 . Educational status showed that 36.7 were graduates, and 41.7 had two children. A positive family history of kidney disease was reported by 36.7 .The mean pre test knowledge score 8.80 ± 3.79 increased to 18.53 ± 3.99 after the intervention, with a statistically significant difference t = 18.972, p = 0.0001 . Practice scores across domains also improved D1 = 2.46 ± 0.650 to D5 = 2.80 ± 0.403 , and one way ANOVA confirmed significance F = 4.418, p = 0.002 . Conclusion The Structured Teaching Program significantly enhanced both knowledge t = 18.972, p 0.001 and practice F = 4.418, p = 0.002 among Chronic Kidney Disease patients. This finding indicates the structured teaching program was effective in enhancing the participants knowledge and practice regarding lifestyle modification. Additionally, highlights the importance of educational interventions in improving lifestyle modification, thereby supporting better disease management and patient outcomes.
