Özet

Information technology and the Internet are rapidly becoming effective tools for teaching. Self-management skills are important for adaptation and long-term survival in kidney recipients. Web-based training may help patients develop self-management skills through information access.This literature review aimed to determine the effects of Web-based educational intervention on self-management in kidney recipients. The Internet supports effective health education intervention strategies by providing a learning environment that is always available. Medicine management, routine follow-up, awareness of the signs and symptoms of rejection, infection prevention, self-monitoring, physical activity, and nutrition are important during the posttransplant period. Another important component of achievement in related matters is the competence of individuals with their own self-management. Web-based training is beneficial for appointment follow-up, nutritional adaptation, and treatment of anxiety and depression. Web-based training allows kidney recipients to access information at any time and place; this information promotes proper self-management.
