Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of peer educationadherence of dialysis patients l. Methods: The present study is a clinical trial that was conducted in 1398 with the participation of 60 dialysis patients by available sampling method and random allocation of samples in two experimental and control groups (30 people in each group). . Before the intervention, information about the samples was collected through demographic questionnaires and adherence to diet and medication of dialysis patients. Then, the peer education intervention was designed based on the educational needs of patients in different areas for the intervention group. Face-to-face and solo procedures were performed during two sessions of dialysis. One month after the end of the second session, the diet and medication adherence questionnaire of dialysis patients was given to both groups again and the data were analyzed using SPSS software version 19. Results: In the pre-test, independent t-test did not show a significant difference in the scores of diet and medication adherence between the control and intervention groups (p> 0.05). While in the post-test stage, there was a significant difference in the scores of diet and medication adherence between the experimental and control groups (p <0.05). Paired t-test also showed a significant difference between before and after the intervention in the experimental group (p <0.05). Discussion and Conclusion: Peer education promotes adherence to diet and medication of dialysis patients, so the use of this educational method for dialysis patients along with other educational methods is recommended.

This is a descriptive-analytic study which was carried out on 45 samples of influent water to dialysis machines in hospitals of Qom.Then results comparised with related standards.The results showed that means of anions in this study were below AAMI and EPH standards. It should also be mentioned that in few samples, these amounts were above the standard levels. Then it should be analysed influent water to dialysis machine continually.

Background: Anorexia, limitation in the intake of some nutrients, loss of nutrients during dialysis, and extensive inflammation are important causes of malnutrition in hemodialysis patients. For this reason, this study reviews the status of macro- and micronutrient intake in these patients as compared to Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) values.
Methods and Materials: This cross-sectional study was performed on 75 hemodialysis patients referred to the dialysis department of Vasei Hospital, Sabzevar, Iran. After measuring height and body weight, nutrient intake of each patient was determined using 24-hour food recall method for two consecutive days (one day on and one day off dialysis) and the frequency of meals was recorded. Nutrient intake of each individual was determined using Nutritionist IV software. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and one-sample t-test at the significance level p < 0.05.
Results: The mean BMI of patients in this study was 20.04±3.38 kg/m2. The mean energy intake was 1767.98±373.85 and 1816.76±433.16 kcal in women and men, respectively, and the mean protein intake was 67.92±21.11 and 69.30±21.38 g per day in men and women, respectively. Also, in this study, the intake of all nutrients, except vitamins B1, B3, B12, and iron, was less than the recommended standard in hemodialysis patients (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, the intake of most water- and fat-soluble vitamins and minerals was less than the recommended standard in hemodialysis patients.
