These Notes: DSE = dialysis staff encouragement, DMSES = dietary management self-efficacy scale, IHLC = internal health locus of control, MH = mental health, BD = burden of diet therapy, SD = standard deviation, IWL = intradialytic weight loss, DW = dry weight. *p < 0.05 †Adherence, IWL/DW less than or equal to 5.7%; nonadherence, IWL/DW greater than or equal to 5.7%. ‡Higher scale scores denote better condition.
