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.
