Abstract
Home dialysis rates have improved little over the past five years. Lack of pre-dialysis patient education persists as an obstacle precluding greater improvement. In this study, barriers to chronic kidney disease (CKD) education at patient and provider levels were addressed using telehealth education for patients with CKD Stages 4-5 in a nonacademic outpatient nephrology practice. A quasi-experimental design was used to compare patients (n = 31) who received telehealth education to those in usual care. CKD Knowledge subscales of kidney function, slowing the progression of CKD, and options for treatment of kidney failure were measured pre-education, post-education, and three months later. There was no significant difference in CKD Knowledge scores over time or in treatment groups. Telehealth CKD education offers flexible options to address patient/provider barriers and potentially improve patient choice of home dialysis therapies.
期刊介绍：
The Nephrology Nursing Journal is a refereed clinical and scientific resource that provides current information on wide variety of subjects to facilitate the practice of professional nephrology nursing. Its purpose is to disseminate information on the latest advances in research, practice, and education to nephrology nurses to positively influence the quality of care they provide.
The Nephrology Nursing Journal is designed to meet the educational and information needs of nephrology nurses in a variety of roles at all levels of practice. It also serves as a source for nonnephrology nurses. Its content expands the knowledge base for nephrology nurses, stimulates professional growth, guides research-based practice, presents new technological developments, and provides a forum for review of critical issues promoting the advancement of nephrology nursing practice.
