Background and Purpose: Difficulty in acceptance of illness and adherence to fluid control are common in patients receiving haemodialysis treatment, and they are associated with higher morbidity and mortality. This study aims to identify the effects of the training based on the Roy Adaptation Model, which is given to patients receiving haemodialysis treatment on the acceptance of illness, and adherence to fluid control.
Methods: The study was designed as a nonrandomised interventional study. This study was conducted with 81 patients, who received haemodialysis treatment. The experimental group was given training according to the Roy Adaptation Model for six months. Data were collected through the Patient Identification Form, Acceptance of Illness Scale, and Fluid Control Scale in Haemodialysis Patients.
Results: While the difference between the experimental and control groups’ second interview Acceptance of Illness Scale mean score was not statistically significant, the difference between the score of Fluid Control Scale in Haemodialysis Patients were statistically significant.
Conclusions: The training based on the Roy Adaptation Model given to the experimental group caused an increase in adherence to fluid control but had no effects on the acceptance of illness levels.
