Treatment and study plan

Artificial Intelligence-Supported Patient Education

Behavioral

The intervention consisted of an artificial intelligence-supported patient education program developed for patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. The education focused on pruritus management and included information about the causes of itching, factors affecting pruritus, skin care, dietary recommendations, symptom management strategies, and self-management behaviors. The educational content was provided through an AI-supported website designed to improve patient empowerment and increase patients' knowledge and participation in their own care.
