Abstract

Aim: The new trend in the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is based on the adoption of self-management approaches. However, there is a paucity of research assessing the level of self-management behavior among non-dialysis patients. The aim of the study is to assess the association between self-management behaviors and the level of disease-specific knowledge among non-dialysis CKD patients. In addition, this study aimed to assess the predictors of self-management among non-CKD patients. Methods: A convenience sample of 203 non-dialysis patients with stage 3−5 CKD was surveyed from the nephrology clinics in Saudi Arabia. Descriptive statistics and linear regression were used to analyze the data. Results: The mean level of knowledge and self-management was 17.9 ± 3.2 and 76.9 ± 13.3, respectively. The results of the multiple regression of self-management showed that knowledge was independently associated with self-management (r = 0.51, **, p < 0.001). Conclusions: This study demonstrated that knowledge and self-management were associated with each other in non-dialysis patients. More efforts are needed to track and enhance the knowledge levels in patients with CKD. Future research should focus on the effectiveness of educational programs of self-management behavior.

Keywords: chronic kidney disease; kidney disease knowledge; non-dialysis; nursing care; self-management.
