No Education: The comparison group comprises healthcare providers who do not receive educational intervention.

Evaluation:

Control Group: Establish a control group of healthcare providers who will not participate in the training. This group will serve as a benchmark to compare the outcomes of those who received the intervention.

Knowledge Assessment: Conduct knowledge assessments for both the intervention and control groups before and after the intervention period.

Outcome (O)

Increased Knowledge on Self-Management: The primary outcome is an increase in healthcare providers’ knowledge about self-management practices for ESRD patients, focusing on nutrition and dietary needs.

Evaluation:

Post-Intervention Assessment: Administer a post-intervention survey or test to measure the knowledge gained by healthcare providers in the intervention group.

Patient Outcomes: Assess the impact of increased provider knowledge on patient outcomes, such as improved dietary adherence and better health indicators among hemodialysis patients. APA
