| [ Summary ] | Patients in the preservation stage of renal failure undergo regular doctor's examination, but the medical care required during this period is self-management. In the CKD outpatient clinic, patients need to manage their symptoms. Nurses need to be involved with their patients to confirm whether patients perform their remedial duties without problems and whether there is no anxiety or other type of psychological repercussion. Therefore, when a patient requests assistance, appropriate response from the nurse is required. It is therefore important to acquire communication and coaching skills so that decision making regarding sanitation behavior is supported by the nurse. | |
