A semi-experimental survey was carried out. The aims included assessing how knowledgeable adolescents undergoing haemodialysis treatment were regarding hyperkalaemia, and determining how effective an education programme in preventing hyperkalaemia would be. 31 volunteers (twelve girls and nineteen boys), who had two or three haemodialysis treatments a week, were included in the study. Data were obtained through a questionnaire, the answers to which were written down for each participant separately by the researcher. A manual was prepared with the aim of educating children in hyperkalaemia, the participants were taught lessons in groups of two to three at a time. The education programme was completed in eight sessions. At the end of the programme each participant was given a copy of the manual. A month after the education programme, participants were asked to refill the section of the aforesaid questionnaire. The scores in this section had increased, and blood potassium levels had significantly decreased (p = 0.02).
