Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

To examine whether retraining via operation inspection or verbal education can reduce the risk for peritonitis in PD patients.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Behavioral: operation inspection
N/A

Detailed Description

The design is prospective, randomized, controlled study. At baseline (during the first month), they will receive a standard training program on performing bag exchange and education on the prevention of peritonitis.

Then the participants will be randomized into three groups: retraining via operation inspection (G1), retraining via verbal education (G2) and usual care (G3). Retraining will be performed every 2 months in G1 and G2 group.

During the following 2 years or a longer period, all the participants will be followed up frequently with outcome events recorded.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: operation inspection

During retraining the patients performed bag exchange under the supervision of a nurse. The nurse ensured that each error listed in the NAC form should be avoided, thus immediately corrected any wrong steps if only.

Behavioral: operation inspection
Retraining via operation inspection means that nurses check if patients can follow the taught skill during the procedure of bag exchange and correct wrong steps in one-to-one way every 2 months. Retraining via verbal education means that nurses remind patients of key points of bag exchange through interactive quiz derived from above checklist every 2 months till 24 months

Experimental: verbal education

Patients in the oral education group also underwent retraining every 2 months. A nurse would address all items in the NAC form one by one, to remind the patient of the key points of bag exchange. Scores calculated by the sum of error items during the bag exchange for patients in technique inspection group, or by the sum of "yes" in the interactive quiz for patients in verbal education group.

Behavioral: operation inspection
Retraining via operation inspection means that nurses check if patients can follow the taught skill during the procedure of bag exchange and correct wrong steps in one-to-one way every 2 months. Retraining via verbal education means that nurses remind patients of key points of bag exchange through interactive quiz derived from above checklist every 2 months till 24 months

Experimental: usual care

Patients in the usual care group did not receive any retraining

Behavioral: operation inspection
Retraining via operation inspection means that nurses check if patients can follow the taught skill during the procedure of bag exchange and correct wrong steps in one-to-one way every 2 months. Retraining via verbal education means that nurses remind patients of key points of bag exchange through interactive quiz derived from above checklist every 2 months till 24 months

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. first-episode peritonitis [48 months]

    Infection rates were calculated as the number of infections divided by the total time at risk, and expressed as episodes per 100 patient-years at risk.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. first-episode enteric peritonitis,first-episode non-enteric peritonitis [48 moths]

    Enteric organisms included enterococcus and enterobacter.

  2. transition transition to haemodialysis, and all-cause death. [48 moths]

    transition to haemodialysis, and all-cause death.
