Abstract

Objectives: To apply a patient-centered care approach to enhance peritoneal dialysis (PD) utilization by proposing patient-centered interventions (PCIs) based on chronic kidney disease patients' perspectives on the advantages and disadvantages of dialysis modalities.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out between November 2023 and May 2024 to collect data from 423 patients from different regions across Saudi Arabia.

Results: The study revealed that ensuring high safety during dialysis sessions was the most valued advantage among 43.2% of the participants, whereas the inability to travel was the most significant disadvantage. The duration of the dialysis session was identified as a potential hidden factor deterring patients from choosing PD. Based on participants' perspectives, various PCIs were proposed to enhance PD utilization, including providing assisted automated PD, investigating traveling restrictions of PD, and starting a new development line focusing on decreasing the duration of the PD session or reducing the time required for the patient to be connected to the PD device.

Conclusion: Regardless of the dialysis modality, safety and travel were the issues that mattered most to patients. Thus, researchers and policymakers may address these issues to contribute to the enhancement of PD utilization.

以患者为中心的干预措施，以提高腹膜透析在沙特阿拉伯的利用。

目的：基于慢性肾病患者对透析方式优缺点的看法，通过提出以患者为中心的干预措施（pci），应用以患者为中心的护理方法来提高腹膜透析（PD）的利用率。方法：在2023年11月至2024年5月期间进行横断面研究，收集来自沙特阿拉伯不同地区的423名患者的数据。结果：研究显示，43.2%的参与者认为在透析过程中确保高安全性是最重要的优势，而无法旅行是最显著的劣势。透析疗程的持续时间被确定为阻止患者选择PD的潜在隐藏因素。根据参与者的观点，提出了各种pci来提高PD的利用率，包括提供辅助的自动化PD，调查PD的旅行限制，以及开始新的开发路线，重点是减少PD会话的持续时间或减少患者连接PD设备所需的时间。结论：无论透析方式如何，安全性和出行是患者最关心的问题。因此，研究人员和政策制定者可以解决这些问题，以促进PD的利用。
