ABSTRACT
End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is a global public health problem. Moi Teaching
and Referral Hospital (MTRH) has over 200 hemodialysis patients with nearly 2/3rd
struggling with dietary and fluid adherence. This study assessed determinants of diet
and fluid adherence among ERSD undergoing hemodialysis at MTRH. A
quantitative cross-sectional study design was conducted from 1st April to 16th May
2018. A sample size of 145 participants who were on HD twice weekly were
conveniently recruited using Fisher’s formula. End stage renal disease adherence
questionnaire (ESRD-AQ) was used for data collection. Chi-square (χ2) was used to
test statistical significance. Frequency tables and bar graphs were used for data
presentation. SPSS version 22.0 was used for data analysis. The study revealed that,
low level of knowledge on fluid adherence was marginally associated with dietary
adherence and fluid adherence. Most participants (71.9%) who were aware of
limiting fluid intake to keep their body healthy practiced fluid intake (p=0.07). A
smaller proportion of participants (62.5%) adhered to diet if they practiced fluid
restrictions all the time (p=0.003). (61.3%) practiced dietary restriction if they
received a health talk every dialysis treatment or every week (p
