Summary
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a health literacy promotion program in preventing chronic kidney disease (CKD) among patients who use multiple medications (polypharmacy). Participants will be divided into two groups: an experimental group receiving the health literacy program and a control group receiving standard care.
