The number of new chronic renal failure patients with hemodialysis therapy continues to increase from year to year in Indonesia. The number of new patients by 2015 is 21050 patients and the number of active patients is 30554 from 249 units of hemodialysis. The quality of life of hemodialysis patients has decreased in physical, psychological, social and environmental dimensions. Mind-body-spirit therapy (Concepts of Islam) focuses on the ability to manage the mindset and psychic that will affect the physical, attitudes and behavior of individuals in addressing their lives. Giving mind-body-spirit therapy to hemodialysis patients to improve quality of life, given for 4 weeks with the frequency twice a week. Pre- experimental study with one group pre-test post-test. The sample of 23 patients with hemodialysis therapy taken by purposive sampling. The WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire was used in this study. Early screening on quality of life was taken in 23 patients (13 men and 10 women, mean age 51.5 years). Mind-body-spirit therapy (Islamic concept) consisted of Tausiyah (cognitive reconstruction), prayer, dhikr and drinking zam-zam water. The quality of life score was evaluated at week 5 after 4 weeks of treatments. All four dimensions of quality of life and quality of life were generally analyzed using Wilcoxon with significant results p <0.05. After the treatments, there is an increase in the quality of life in the physical, psychological, social, environmental, and general quality of life in hemodialysis patients. A mind-body-spirit therapy of 4 weeks is effective for improving the quality of life of patients with chronic renal failure with hemodialysis therapy.

A common agreement in many of the future roles proposed for pharmacists in the ambulatory patient care area involves an educational responsibility to patients. To provide patient education, pharmacists may rely on mechanical audiovisual aids. The optimal effectiveness of patient education programs of this type can be achieved only by careful preparation of the audiovisual aids. In producing such instructional aids consideration should be directed at both the technical and theoretical aspects of persuasive audiovisual techniques. The goal of any patient education effort is to instill a desire in patients to comply with their therapy and in so doing maintain or improve their health status. It is important to understand the theories of attitude change needed to provide effective patient education. It is equally important that the audiovisual material utilized be prepared using recognized principles for instructional presentations. Technical considerations in the preparation of audiovisual aids will insure that the program has an impact on the viewing audience. The pharmacist may be especially suited to counsel patients on the correct use of medication. Innovative methods may be needed to provide effective patient education services. The audiovisual method is one technique which may be used to provide patient education. Practical applications of theoretical and technical principles for audiovisual instruction should be used to prepare effective educational materials. The goal proposed by advocates of patient education is to help patients acquire new knowledge, attitudes, and behavior that will improve their capability to care for themselves more adequately. Those who participate in planned educational programs have exhibited greater compliance and cooperation. This, in turn, can result in fewer hospital admissions.23 Schoenrich24 explains that patient education requires consideration of the psychological, sociological, and cultural aspects of the population if changes in patient attitudes and behavior are to be made. It is important to be sensitive to the patient and his condition and consider the “whole” patient.

Background: Riskesdas 2013 data shows the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in Central Java and Yogyakarta 0.3%, which is higher than the average prevalence across Indonesia which is only 0.2%. The results of the author’s study previously showed that the intake of energy, protein, sodium hemodialysis patients on average are not sufficient, while the average fluid intake exceeds the dietary recommendation. There are several factors that can affect dietary compliance of the hemodialysis patients, such as knowledge, family support, attitudes, and behavior.Objective: To examine the factors that affect dietary compliance of the hemodialysis patients.Method: This is an observational study with cross-sectional design, conducted in the hemodialysis unit of Dr. Soeradji Tirtonegoro Hospital, Klaten on March - October 2016, involving 60 respondents. The dependent variable is dietary compliance, while the independent variables are knowledge, family support, attitudes, and behavior. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate with Chi-Square test.Results: Chi-Square test results of knowledge with dietary compliance showed the p-value = 0.027; family support with dietary compliance showed the p-value = 0.045; attitude with dietary compliance showed the p-value = 0.045; and behavior with dietary compliance showed the p-value = 0.002.Conclusion: Knowledge, family support, attitude, and behavior affect dietary compliance of the hemodialysis patients.

11005 Background: Treatment outcomes for pancreatic cancer are optimized when patients/caregivers are engaged, informed and supported participants in their care. However, challenges exist regarding care engagement, disease and treatment related education, and the attainment of adequate psychosocial support. To address these needs, we created video-based patient education activities with the National Pancreas Foundation to empower patients/care with information and resources on pancreatic cancer facts, diagnosis, medical management, and strategies to minimize side effects and maximize quality of life. Methods: One 1-hour patient education activity was broadcast live and online, followed by on-demand release, in 2018-2019 at CancerCoachLive.com and via Facebook Video for 12 months. Features included panel discussions, slides, live polling and Q&A, and video vignettes of real patient experiences. Knowledge-focused test questions were administered at 3 time points (pre-activity, immediate post-activity, and 2-mos [follow-up] post). Behavioral and communication-focused questions were also asked at follow-up. Data from these questions, live poll responses, and learner-submitted questions pre-event and during live Q&A were analyzed to determine engagement, lessons learned and continuing patient needs. Results: In total, 6,276 patients took part in the activity. Patient questions prior to and during the activity focused on basic knowledge about pancreas gland function, tumor development, disease escalation, and medical management. In-session polling results revealed that prognosis and life expectancy were the top concerns for participants. Two months post-education evaluation showed: 33% reported improved communication with their healthcare providers (HCPs) regarding pancreatic cancer; 46% reported improved feelings of being more “in-control” of health care decisions; 25% reported improved care behaviors for their health. Reports of improved HCP communication were specific to: side effect management, clinical trials availability, treatment option knowledge, and confidence related to engaging in discussions. Knowledge improvements were observed for 3 of 4 questions related to facts about the pancreas, pancreatic cancer, and treatment.Conclusions: Patient/caregiver education on pancreatic cancer yields gains in knowledge and behavior, improves patient/caregiver engagement, improves treatment decision-making, and maximizes quality of life.
