Cronbach's α for the scale was 0.831, and the test-retest reliability of the scale was 0.910. CONCLUSIONS The constructed dietary self-management ability scale for kidney transplant recipients has good reliability and validity and can be used as a tool to evaluate the dietary self-management ability of kidney transplant recipients.BACKGROUND This study aims to quantify the effectiveness of knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP)-based rehabilitation education on the KAP of patients with intervertebral disc herniation (IDH). METHODS Seventy IDH patients undergoing conservative treatment in our center from February 2018 to December 2018 were randomly divided into the KAP group and control group by using a table of random numbers. The control group was given traditional health education, while the KAP group was offered with KAP-based rehabilitation education. Both groups were followed up for 3 months after their discharge from the hospital. A self-designed questionnaire form was used to evaluate the KAP quantities of patients. RESULTS Before health education, the scores of knowledge in the control group and the KAP group were (15.12±3.12) and (15.20±3.28), respectively, showing no significant difference (P>0.05). After the health education, the total score of knowledge, the score of disease knowledge, the score of attitude, and the score of practice were (25.42±3.16), (7.66±0.73), (7.80±0.36), and (7.85±0.68), respectively, in the KAP group, which were significantly higher than those in the control group [(20.31±3.43), (6.83±0.92), (6.41±1.05), and (7.10±1.11), P less then 0.05]. After health education, the awareness rates of the disease, attitude, and behavior were significantly higher in the KAP group than in the control group (P less then 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Rehabilitation education based on the KAP theory ca
