Children undergoing hemodialysis have poor quality of life. The purpose
of this study was to evaluate the effect of self-care
model intervention on quality of life of children undergoing
hemodialysis. A quasi experimental design was used. The study was
conducted in the Pediatric Hemodialysis Unit at Menoufia University
Hospital, Shebin-Elkom city. A purposive sample of 30 children
was selected to carry out this study. Three instruments were used in
this study. They were a structured interviewing questionnaire,
Standardized Quality Of Life (QOL) checklist and Orem’s self-care
guidelines checklist. The results of this study showed significant
improvement in children’s quality of life after implementation of
self-care model. The total mean scores of children’s quality of life
were 61.16±5.6634 on pretest compared to 34.33±2.88 and 33.66±2.32 on
post and follow-up tests respectively. It was concluded
that implementation of the self-care model improved quality of life of
children undergoing hemodialysis on posttest than pretest. So,
it was recommended that self-care model intervention should be
implemented at all pediatric hemodialysis units to help children
adapt and cope better with their disease limitations.
