Health-literacy, self-efficacy and health-outcomes of patients undergoing haemodialysis: Mediating role of self-management.

Self-management can modify the overall influence of health literacy and self-efficacy on patients' quality of physical and emotional health.

Continuous monitoring and promoting self-management behaviours and support by nurses are crucial to enhance health outcomes.
