Abstract
The elevated prevalence of end stage renal disease (ESRD), undergoing health education seminars to learn home-based peritoneal dialysis, underscores a pressing health challenge in communication and documentation of the training the patients received. Methodology A quasi-experimental study employing convenience sampling was carried out, adhering to defined inclusion and exclusion criteria, to recruit 70 participants, evenly split into 35 for the experimental group and 35 for the control group. The Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KDQOL-36) survey was adapted to the Saudi Arabian context, incorporating the domains of General Health, Social Well-being, and Vitality to determine the quality-of-life outcomes before and after the intervention. T-test and ANOVA determined the e-module's effectiveness in improving the domains of the quality of life among patients with ESRD. Findings The t-test results compared pre- and post-intervention scores for 35 participants in the experimental and control groups, revealing significant improvements in the experimental group (p ≤ 0.05). The ANOVA results showed significant differences among the domains of General Health, Social Well-being, and Vitality, with F-values indicating the greatest variance in Vitality (F = X.XX, p < 0.05), followed by Social Well-being (F = Y.YY, p < 0.05) and General Health (F = Z.ZZ, p < 0.05). Conclusion An e-module served as an effective method for improving the quality of life for ESRD patients undergoing home-based peritoneal dialysis in Saudi.
