This project was aimed at promoting the recognition rate in dietary guidance for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and their primary caregivers. Questionnaires completed by the patients and their primary caregivers between May and June 2015 showed that they exhibited a recognition rate of 54.2%. The recognition rate of nursing staff was 75.7%. An analysis of the questionnaires revealed a lack of appropriate health education equipment and materials, health education workshops, dietary guidance knowledge among nursing staff, relevant training courses, and standardized health guidance. Strategies to overcome these issues include providing in-service education to promote the understanding of dietary principles, designing health education guidance standard operation procedure, implementing new CKD dietary guidance booklets, revising the current health education pamphlet and adding illustrations, installing CKD dietary guidance posters on the health education board, and increasing the frequency of health education workshops. Improvements were observed after implementing these strategies. Specifically, the recognition rate increased to 86.8% among patients and their primary caregivers, and the recognition rate of the dietary needs of patients with CKD increased to 100% among nursing staff.
