Fluid Distribution Timetable (FDT) Group
Comparison Group
It is the fluid distribution timetable. It is a scheduled distribution of pre-determined amounts of fluid intake on a daily basis depicted via a 5x6 table. The timetable includes three major columns. The first column has six timepoints of a day with a four-hour interval. The second column, which was further divided into four sub-columns, reflects the percentage of fluid allotment for food, activities, medication, and thirst encounters. The percentage of fluid allocation was computed based on the patient's prescribed fluid restriction, usual time of food intakes in a day, usual level of activity, time of medication intake, and common time they encounter thirst in a day. Lastly, the third column indicates the converted percentages of fluid allotment in milliliters.
It is the standard of care that served as the intervention. The control group received the standard care for patients on hemodialysis. The standard care involves a 10 -15-minute face-to-face health teaching of their treatment regimen including pharmacologic management, dialysis schedule, dietary and fluid restrictions or nutritional therapy, care for vascular access, and other necessary lifestyle modifications.
