The Effect of Education Based on Self-Care Deficiency Theory on Rational Drug Use in Patients Receiving Haemodialysis In the study, which will last for 2 months, the patients in the intervention group will receive pre-test training based on the Self-Care Deficiency Theory. Also weekly reminder messages will be sent regularly.

Education Based on Self-Care Deficiency Theory on Rational Drug Use

Rational Drug Use Training and Tele-monitoring will include information on drugs and their importance, rational drug use, rational drug use in haemodialysis patients, harms of irrational drug use, benefits of rational drug use, obstacles encountered in rational drug use, ways to overcome obstacles encountered in rational drug use, and increasing self-efficacy. The first training is planned to last approximately 30-35 minutes for each patient and the second training (summary training) is planned to last approximately 15-20 minutes. With telemonitoring, reminder messages will be sent to patients' phones at intervals.

The Rational Drug Use Scale (RUDS) consists of 21 items and one dimension (Appendix 3). The items are scored on a 5-point Likert-type scale (1-Never, 2-Rarely, 3-Sometimes, 4-Most of the time and 5-Always) according to their fulfilment of the statements. Only the 17th item in the scale is reversed. After the reversed item is reversed, the sum of all scale items gives the 'total scale score'. The total score of the EHRS varies between 21 and 105. As the total score obtained from AİKÖ increases, rational drug use increases. When evaluating the total score obtained from AİKÖ; if the total score obtained is between 21- 52, it is scored as low level, between 53-67 as medium level, and between 68-105 as high level.
