Factors associated with self-care behavior in patients with kidney failure receiving dialysis: a hospital-based cross-sectional study in Bandung, Indonesia.
Article in BMC nephrology, 2026. 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
backgroundWhile self-care behaviors (SCB) are recognized as a crucial component of managing the adverse effects associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD), understanding of the factors influencing SCB remains limited, particularly in resource-constrained settings like Indonesia. This study aims to measure SCB scores and identify factors associated with SCB in patients with kidney failure receiving dialysis.
methodsData collection was carried out at a tertiary hospital in Bandung, Indonesia, from September to November 2024. This study used three questionnaires that assessed SCB, health literacy (HL), and disease knowledge (DK) with a total of 43 items. The dependent variable was the SCB score. The independent variables included HL, DK, age, gender, marital status, education, income, occupation, comorbidities, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, dialysis status, duration of dialysis, type of medication, route of drug administration, and number of medications. Data were analyzed using descriptive, univariate, and multivariate linear regression.
resultsA total of 110 patients were enrolled, of whom 109 were receiving dialysis and one was not. The SCB score of patients with kidney failure receiving dialysis varied, with an average score of 57.5 ± 8.94 (range: 16-80). Factors significantly associated with high SCB scores were high DK (β = 7.992; p = 0.003), female (β = 4.235; p = 0.012), and income ≥ Indonesian RMW (Regional Minimum Wage) (β = 4.946; p = 0.029).
conclusionsA higher SCB score indicates an improvement in the patient's SCB. DK, gender, and income were independently associated with SCB. Healthcare providers need to implement education and counseling to improve SCB by considering these characteristics.
