N2 - Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as kidney damage or glomerular filtration rate (GFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 for 3 months or more, irrespective of the cause. CKD can progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), which requires renal replacement therapy (RRT) and is associated with morbidity and mortality at all stages. Nurse-led educational interventions play an essential role in improving the awareness of patients, thereby enhancing their quality of life. Purpose: The study assessed the effectiveness of nurse-led educational intervention (NLEI) on knowledge of patients with CKD. Methods: The patients' level of knowledge was assessed using an 18-item Chronic Kidney Disease Patient Awareness Questionnaire. An NLEI was administered to 50 patients with CKD. The data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21. Discussion: The pretest mean knowledge score was 40.42 and SD was ±4.09. The posttest mean knowledge score was 62.52 and SD was ±4.29. The paired t-Test showed t = 26.35, df = 49. Significant association was found between the knowledge of patients and their dietary habits @ P ≤ 0.05. Conclusions: NLEI was effective in enhancing the knowledge of CKD patients. This implies that when appropriately implemented, the CKD patients will reap the benefits of NLEI, which has the potential to improve their health status.
