Because of their high prevalence and economic burden on the society, health system managers consider to the disease as a public health concern.  This study aimed at comparing the cost-effectiveness of long-term dialysis treatments and kidney transplant using DALY index.

Materials and Methods:This cross-sectional study was designed to compare the cost-effectiveness of two methods such as long-term hemodialysis and kidney transplant using Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALY) in Afzalipour Hospital of Kerman in 2012. The decision tree model and TreeAge software were used for data analysis. In this research, costs and effects were studied from the patient perspective.

Results: The cost of a kidney transplant was 165 million Rials, effectiveness of a kidney transplant was 4.40 DALY, chronic dialysis cost was 1.283 billion Rials and its effectiveness was 6.52 DALY. Cost-effectiveness ratio for dialysis was 196 million Rials per DALY and this ratio is 37 million Rials per DALY for a kidney transplant respectively. According to the findings, kidney transplant is more cost effective than dialysis.

Conclusion: This study suggests kidney transplant over dialysis due to its better quality of life and more life expectancy. The results can help out the government to decide about the more resource allocation to kidney transplant programs.

Data collection tools were a three-part questionnaire includes of demographic characteristics, quality of life of patients of kidney transplant questionnaire (KTQ-25) and the questionnaire of health empowerment to survey about self-care (SUPPH). These questionnaires were completed by both groups once the study was initiated and another time 1.5 months after intervention. Data were analyzed by SPSS software (version 20), chi-square and T-test.
Results: findings demonstrated that when the study was initiated there was not any significance difference between these two groups in terms of demographic quantitative and qualitative characteristics and mean of quality of life and self-efficacy. In compared with control group, mean of quality of life of intervention group was increased. Statistically, it has a significance difference (0<0.001). Also, in comparison with control group, the score of self-efficacy promoted and it has a significance difference.
Conclusion: Considering the positive effect of family-centered empowerment model on self-efficacy of kidney transplant patients and finally on their quality of life, it is necessary to consider this model with the aim of promoting patients' health.
