HYPERPHOSPHATEMIA
At the dialysis ward, serum phosphorus level measurement was a routine procedure for all HPs with hyperphosphatemia while fasting. This procedure involved a nurse taking a blood sample, sending it to the hospital’s laboratory, and then recording the results in the HP’s medical file at 8 AM. The first researcher (responsible for implementing the interventions and collecting the data) extracted the participating HPs’ serum phosphorus level data from their medical files and recorded them in the data collection sheets.The blood samples of the CG participants undergoing evening hemodialysis sessions were also prepared in the morning. CG participants were asked to attend the hemodialysis department at 8 AM for the data collection sessions (baseline, follow-up 1, and follow-up 2) in a fasting state for blood sampling. The researcher went to their homes to take the blood sample for participants who did not want to go to the hemodialysis department in the morning.
