Correlation of self-efficacy and self-management among patients undergoing hemodialysis with intradialytic hypertension complications

Abstract

Introduction: Intradialytic hypertension (IDH) is a phenomenon in which blood pressure increases during hemodialysis. Increased awareness and thorough understanding of the complications associated with intradialytic are needed in managing the disease independently. In addition, self-efficacy can support self-management behaviour. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between self-efficacy and self-management of hemodialysis patients who had complications of intradialytic hypertension.
