- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Pulse rate 3 months Healthy Lifestyle Belief Level for Adolescents 3 months The scale emphasizes beliefs related to various aspects of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The scale has a total of 16 items. The scale has three subscales: health beliefs, physical activity, and nutrition. The health beliefs subscale is composed of items 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, and 16; the physical activity subscale includes items 2, 7, 9, 14, and 15; and the nutrition subscale comprises items 1, 3, 8, and 10. The scale, prepared according to the five-point Likert system, is answered on a scale of "1=Strongly Disagree, 5=Strongly Agree." A minimum of 16 and a maximum of 80 points can be obtained from the entire scale. An increase in the score obtained from the scale indicates an increase in adolescents' belief in healthy living.
BMI 3 months BMI in kg/m\^2
Blood pressure 3 months Child's Attitude Towards Their Own Illness 3 months The Child's Attitude Toward Their Own Illness Scale is a 13-item measure developed to assess children's feelings and thoughts about having a chronic illness. Participants respond to the scale items using a 5-point Likert scale: "never, not often, sometimes, often, and very often." Items 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13 are reverse-coded. When evaluating the scale, the scores obtained from the 13 items are summed and divided by the number of items. The total score range is min: 1 to max: 5. Scores of 1 and 2 indicate a negative attitude, 3 indicates a neutral attitude, and 4 and 5 indicate a positive attitude.
Level of knowledge regarding chronic renal failure 3 months The information form consists of 25 questions. The information form has been created with two answers, correct and incorrect. Correct answers are worth 1 point, while incorrect answers are worth 0 points, and the form is evaluated based on the total score. A reliability analysis was performed using Kuder Richardson 20 (KR-20) to evaluate whether the items that make up the question form form a whole.
