Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a nursing education program in enhancing community knowledge regarding the prevention and early management of kidney disorders. Methods: This community service program employed a community-based educational approach through health education sessions led by professional nurses. A quantitative method with a pre-experimental design using pre-test and post-test was applied to measure the improvement in community knowledge. Results: A total of 100 respondents participated in this program. The results showed a significant increase in community knowledge about kidney disorders, with an average pre-test score of 55.3% and a post-test score of 80.6% (p<0.05). Conclusion: Nursing education proved to be effective in enhancing community knowledge about the prevention and early management of kidney disorders. Similar programs are recommended to be widely implemented to reduce the prevalence of CKD.
