Therefore, these patients should take anticoagulant with warfarin. Incorrect use of anticoagulant is the cause of thrombotic complications and bleeding in patients with mechanical valves due to very low levels of adherence to the medication. This research was done with the perpose of comparison of the effect of two types of short message service (interactive and non-interactive) on patient compliance with anticoagulant regimens in patients with prosthetic heart valves. Method: This study is a clinical trial performed on 90 eligible patients referred to Imam Khomeini hospital in Tehran, Iran for a perdiod of three months. The patients were divided into three groups of 30 patients , contorol, interactive and non-interactive. Self-report questionnaires were completed and International Normalized Ratio (INR) levels were recorded. Educational leaflets were given to all of the patients, their phone numbers were taken and they were instructed about using short message service. The control group did not receive SMS. Four educational messages were sent to the non-interactive group every week for a period of three months. In the interactive group, in addition to sending educational messages, patients were able to communicate with the researcher and ask their questions. After three months, all three groups completed the self-report questionnaires again. Then anticoagulant adherence was evaluated using questionnaire and INR levels. Data were analysed using fisher exact test, Chi-Square, paired T test, and analysis of variance. Results: Before the intervention all three groups did not have a significant difference in the mean of drug (P=0.43) and diet (P=0.84) adherence. But three months after intervention, three groups had significant differnece in the mean of the anticoagulant adherence (P≤0/001). The mean of adherence in interactive group was higher than the other two groups after intervention. PT and INR between three groups did not indicated any significant differences (P=0.18). Paired T test results showed that after the intevention PT and INR in the non-interactive with (P=0.008) and in interactive group with (P≤0/001) had significant mean and in control group the differences was not significant (P=0.9). Conclusion: Using interactive short message service can increase anticoagulant adherence of patients with prosthetic heart valves.

This study was aimed to investigate the effect of diet education on the laboratory parameters in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Method: In this quasi experimental study, 99 patients undergoing hemodialysis were randomly assigned into experimental and control groups. Demographic form and testing checklist was used for data gathering. Dietary face to face education was conducted for experimental group but the control group received routine education. After three months, laboratory variables in patients were evaluated and recorded. Data were analyzed using Chi-squared test, independent T-test and Paired T-test. Results: Demographic variables of the two groups were not significantly different (P>0.05). There was no significant difference between the values of Hb, FBS, Cr, Na, K, Ca, Phosphor and albumin between two groups before intervention (P>0.05), but after the intervention, there was a significant difference in these laboratory parameters (P<0.05). Conclusion: Study results indicate positive effects of dietary education on the laboratory indicators in the intervention group compared to the control group. Considering this, dietary education to nurses and other relevant personnel is needed to improve conditions for patients undergoing hemodialysis. 249 Special The effect of nutrition training on food diet adherence in non-dialysis chronic kidney patients Pourshaban M Parsayekta Z Gholamnezhad M Peyravi H 1 2 2014 2 4 23 32 19 03 2014 22 06 2014 Introduction: Change in one's life when there is chronic kidney disease need support to change behavior.
