        abstract = {Chronic Renal Disease (CRD) is a progressive and irreversible loss of kidney function that affects millions of people worldwide and has become a major public health concern. As kidney function declines, patients often require renal replacement therapies such as hemodialysis or kidney transplantation for survival. Hemodialysis is a lifesaving treatment, but patients experience various complications and lifestyle challenges, including dietary restrictions, fluid management, fatigue, infections, and psychological stress.
The increasing prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) in India and globally highlights the need for proper awareness and management among patients undergoing hemodialysis. Many patients lack adequate knowledge regarding dietary modifications, infection prevention, fluid restriction, and self-care practices, which can adversely affect treatment outcomes and quality of life.
The present study aims to assess the knowledge and health status of patients undergoing hemodialysis and to evaluate the effectiveness of educational interventions in improving patient understanding regarding disease management and self-care practices. The study emphasizes the importance of patient education in reducing complications, promoting adherence to treatment, and improving overall well-being among hemodialysis patients.
Methodology: - The study adopted a quantitative research approach with a quasi-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design to assess the effectiveness of a Health Awareness Package on knowledge regarding reproductive health among college-going girls. The study was conducted in selected colleges of Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 60 college-going girls aged 18–23 years who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. A structured knowledge questionnaire was used to assess pre-test and post-test knowledge regarding reproductive health. After conducting the pre-test, the Health Awareness Package was administered, followed by a post-test to evaluate improvement in knowledge. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, paired t-test, and chi-square test.
Findings: - The findings of the study revealed that the majority of patients had poor knowledge regarding hemodialysis during the pre-test, where 51 (85%) patients had poor knowledge and 9 (15%) had average knowledge, while none had good knowledge. After the administration of the nurse-led intervention program, a significant improvement in knowledge was observed in the post-test, where 48 (80%) patients had good knowledge and 12 (20%) had average knowledge, with no patient having poor knowledge. The comparison between pre-test and post-test knowledge scores indicated that the nurse-led intervention program was effective in improving patients’ knowledge regarding hemodialysis, and therefore research hypothesis H1 was accepted. Further, selected socio-demographic and clinical variables showed association with post-test knowledge scores, while some variables had no significant association, leading to partial acceptance of research hypotheses H2 and H3.
Conclusion: - 
The study concluded that the nurse-led intervention program was effective in improving patients’ knowledge regarding hemodialysis. Post-test knowledge scores were significantly higher than pre-test scores, showing improvement after the intervention. Selected socio-demographic variables (age, gender, religion, occupation, family type, and locality) and some clinical variables (duration and frequency of hemodialysis, diabetes, and thyroid problems) showed significant association with knowledge scores. Overall, the study highlighted the importance of nurse-led education in improving knowledge and disease management among hemodialysis patients.},
