The effect of self-care training on death anxiety in hemodialysis patients: A randomized clinical trial.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDeath anxiety as a common problem in hemodialysis patients affects their quality of life and mortality. The effect of self-care training on death anxiety in hemodialysis patients is not well-documented.
objectivesThis study aims to determine the effect of self-care training on death anxiety in hemodialysis patients. MATERIAL AND
methodsFifty hemodialysis patients were purposefully selected and allocated to two study groups equally using the random minimization method. For the intervention group and one of their family members, who had the most role in patient care, the self-care training was implemented in three at least one-hour sessions during two weeks. The data were collected using the Templer Death Anxiety Scale (DAS). Analysis was done by SPSS version 22, using Shapiro-Wilk, Chi-square, Fisher Exact, independent-t test, and paired-t tests, at a 95% confidence level.
resultsThe DAS score of the study groups were the same at baseline. In intervention group the mean ± SD of the DAS score decrease from 8.04 ± 2.35 at baseline to 5.28 ± 1.65 at after the intervention (
conclusionThe self-care training may have a positive effect in management of the death anxiety in hemodialysis patients. The importance of self-care in managing the death anxiety of hemodialysis patients and preventing its negative consequences seems to be attributed to the health care team's emphasis on it.
