10. Limitation
CKD, fatigue
Patient compliance was purely subjective in nature, and objective measurement of compliance was not performed, e.g., missed dialysis sessions, emergencies, and biochemical parameters. This study was limited to educational/cognitive interventions. Psychologic/affective interventions that appealed to the patient's feelings and emotions or social support and mixed interventions that involved a combination of the abovementioned intervention types were not tested.The limitation is that the results cannot be generalized as the sample did not come from different regions of India and majorly constituted from coastal Karnataka. Moreover, the impact of factors such as noise, interruption by others, or participants' fatigue may influence the answers of individuals. There was also a limitation of the time available to cover all thematic units, as the participants had only one educational session, which included a variety of thematic sections on CKD. For this reason and to enhance the educational outcome, the booklets were given to each participant separately after the intervention.
