This study was designed as an interventional, pretest-posttest controlled trial to examine the effects of peer interaction on disease adaptation and self-care ability in patients newly diagnosed with chronic kidney failure and starting dialysis. The main hypothesis:
H1: Structured peer support provided to patients receiving hemodialysis treatment has a positive effect on their level of adaptation to the disease.
H2: Structured peer support provided to patients receiving hemodialysis treatment has a positive effect on their self-care power.
Researchers will compare control group to see if adaptation to the dieases and self-care power.
Patients in the intervention group received peer support during their hospital stay, while those in the control group followed the routine clinical process.
This study was conducted with 64 patients in the nephrology clinic of a Training and Research Hospital in Istanbul. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, the Chronic Illness Adaptation Scale, and the Self-Management of Chronic Illness Scale. Patients in the intervention group received peer support during their hospital stay, while those in the control group followed the routine clinical process. Participants in the intervention group took part in a structured peer support program, with pre-test data collected through the Self-Care Management Scale in Chronic Illness and the Chronic Illness Adaptation Scale. The program consisted of 4-6 sessions over one week, each lasting 30-45 minutes, focusing on disease information, self-care behaviors, psychosocial coping, and motivation, delivered by trained peers of similar age and gender. Post-test data were collected after the program to assess changes and analyze the effect of structured peer support.

| Chronic disease adaptation scale | It was used to determine the level of adaptation of hemodialysis patients to the disease. The minimum possible score on the scale is 25, and the maximum is 125. Higher scores on the scale indicate an increased level of adaptation to the illness. | Day 1, upon hospital admission) and at discharge (average of 7 days after admission. |
| Self-care management scale | It was used to measure patients' ability to manage their self-care. The possible score on the scale ranges from 35 to 175, and higher scores indicate better self-care management. | Day 1, upon hospital admission) and at discharge (average of 7 days after admission. |
