Methods A total of 84 elderly patients who received dialysis treatment in our hospital from January 2019 to January 2021 were included as the research objects. All the patients were given health education by Internet+ WeChat group, and the score of self-management behaviors, the levels of anemia related indicators and satisfaction before and after intervention were analyzed. Results The self-management behavior-related scores of the patients after the intervention were higher than those before the intervention(P<0.05). The levels of transferrin saturation(TS), hemoglobin(Hb), serum ferritin(SF), hematocrit(Hct) and the satisfaction of the patients after the intervention were all significantly higher than those before the intervention(P<0.05).
