Abstract: Objective To explore the effects of health belief model education on compliance about volume status in peritoneal dialysis patients. Methods 41 peritoneal dialysis patients who were followed-up regularly accepted health belief model education about volume control. Their volume status, compliance and cognition were analyzed. Results After the education, the patients' total fluids cleaning and KT/V decreased markedly, but their volume status had no difference (P＞0.05); Their compliances with dialysis prescription and taking medicine remained good (＞80%), while the compliances in salt and water diet had statistical meaning (P＜ 0.05). And their cognitions in every aspect had obvious improvement (P＜0.05). Conclusions Health belief model education could improve peritoneal dialysis patients' compliance about volume status, thus improving their volume status.
