Structural visualization of expert nursing: Hemodialysis patient education program "behavior modification program for hemodialysis patients".
Behavior modification programs (BMP) have been suggested to be useful for the self-management of hemodialysis (HD) patients. To provide more systematic care, we structured the procedure of the thinking process and care in BMPs as an algorithm. BMP developers produced a temporary algorithm based on previous studies, discussed it with nurses with BMP experience, and added and revised necessary items. As a result, an algorithm of BMP with high reproducibility that allows maintenance of consistent quality for the self-management of HD patients could be developed.
