Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: lack of knowledge about chronic kidney disease (CKD) can affect poor treatment practices and promote disease progression. Objectives: to identify knowledge, practices adherence to treatment and to find out some factors related to knowledge and practices adherence to treatment in chronic kidney disease patients from 18 to 60 years old in Soc Trang city. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 150 chronic kidney disease patients from 18 to 60 years old being treated at Soc Trang General Hospital and Soc Trang People and Military Hospital from May 2020 to May 2021. Results: men were 51.3%, the mean age was 51.32±10.04, stage 5 CKD were 62.7%. The percentage of patients who had good knowledge of CKD were 70.7%, mean knowledge score was 12.6±5.2. There were 56% of patients with good practices, mean practice score was 13.2±4.9. There was a strong positive correlation between knowledge and practices adherence to treatment (r=0.71, p=0.001), and a moderate inverse correlation between eGFR and knowledge score (r= -0.42, p=0.001). There was an association between knowledge and ethnicity, education level and economic conditions. Factors relating to good practices included: female gender, Kinh and Chinese ethnicity and education from high school or higher (p<0.05). Conclusion: knowledge was significantly correlated with practices, it is necessary to educate patients for good treatment of chronic kidney disease.
