46 A Targeted Education ApproaCH to improve Peritoneal Dialysis outcomes The HOME Network & AKTN PD Working Group

47 Background & Rationale Major challenge of PD: treatment-related infections and technique survival large variation in peritonitis rates between PD units Cause unclear but possibly reflects variability in training of staff and subsequently patients ISPD Training Guidelines published but not yet evaluated Optimal education package not yet established

48 CURRENT PD TRAINING IN AUSTRALIA AUDIT [NZ in progress] Thirty-eight (70%) of 54 PD units in Australia completed an online survey. Considerable differences currently exist amongst Australian PD units in the education of staff and A written standardised curricula was utilised in 55% of units for PD nursing staff and 86% of units for patients patients. There is a general lack of delivery and 22% and 12% including an electronic delivery component for each group respectively. competency assessment to meet educational standards. It remains to be seen if harmonisation of educational Universal teaching of adult learning principles does not occur curricula can translate to improved clinical outcomes. The hours spent on teaching nursing staff ranged from <15 hours in 24% of units to >100 hours for 21 % of units. Staff competency assessed in 37% of units Boudville N, et al Nephrology (Carlton) 2017 epub ahead of print

52 Prerequisite clinical knowledge Pre-assessment: multiple choice questionnaire Training framework: nurse trainers Lists core prerequisite clinical knowledge required by PD nurse trainers Recommended educational sources Online multiple choice assessment at end of each module (pass rate: 90%), plus practical assessment by in-unit mentor/accredited assessor Completion recorded on Nurse Competency Checklist Module 1a: home dialysis training an overview Assessment 1a: multiple choice questionnaire Module 1b: Personalised approaches to home dialysis training Assessment 1b: multiple choice questionnaire Modules 1a and 1b overview home dialysis training and personalised approaches for training patients to manage their PD Online Multiple choice assessment at end of each module (pass rate: 90%) Digital certificates of completion Completion recorded on Nurse Competency Checklist Module 2: Case study Somchai Assessment 2: multiple choice questionnaire Module 3: Case study Maggie Assessment 3: multiple choice questionnaire Assessment 4: case study-based assessment task Assessment 5: Nurse Competencies Checklist Case study-based modules Online multiple choice assessment at end of each module (pass rate: 100%) Digital certificates of completion Completion recorded on Nurse Competency Checklist Standardised case study assessment Case study assessed is similar to those presented in case study modules Assess patient factors and barriers impacting on home dialysis training Prepare a personalised lesson plan for a specific PD training step Assessed by in-unit mentor/accredited assessor using standard marking scheme Completion recorded on Nurse Competency Checklist Nurse Competencies Checklist In-unit mentor/accredited assessor confirms and signs record of: All completed modules and assessments Assessment of Practical competencies checklist

53 Training framework: patients Pre-dialysis education for patients Completion of local hospital/unit pre-dialysis education pathway Pre-dialysis education for patients Completion of local hospital/unit pre-dialysis education pathway May involve group education sessions and/or one-on-one pre-dialysis education Patients supported to undertake informed shared decision making process Patients choose PD option Patient PD training manual part 1: Getting Ready for Peritoneal Dialysis No assessment Patient training manual part 1: Getting Ready for Peritoneal Dialysis Standardised PD-related information/reference guide for patients prior to starting their PD training Information /reference guide only, no assessment Patient PD training manual part 2: Peritoneal Dialysis Training and Competencies Used alongside in-unit PD training CAPD/APD Competencies Checklist for patients Patient training manual part 2: Peritoneal Dialysis Training and Competencies Standardised PD-related information/reference guide for patients, including trouble shooting guide; used by patients during training and outside of the training environment Manual used alongside personalised approach to practical i(n-unit) PD training Nurse trainer also incorporates local hospital/unit PD training protocols Patient competencies assessed by nurse trainer against standardised CAPD or APD Competencies Checklist for patients

54 Current Status of Progress 2017 Survey: NZ Training Status (in progress) Modules: Final stage of revision Pilot study: To be launched in two PD units in Australia [John Hunter, NSW; Logan, Qld]

55 Objectives Pilot Study Primary Objective To determine the feasibility of implementing the newly developed training modules for PD patients and trainers. Secondary Objectives To inform the design of, a large-scale RCT with clinical endpoints using the newly developed standardised training modules To determine the quality of the modules through formal assessments To determine the quality of learning experience and level of satisfaction by PD trainers and patients using the developed modules

56 TEACH-PD Pilot Study Population and Interventions Pilot Study locations; John Hunter/Logan Hospital Induction Visit (to discuss and introduce): Curriculum, learning outcome Modules, Standardisation Patient Training Manuals Assessment and Pre-Requisite Interactive web-based training module to complete pre-requisites (4 hours to complete) Recruitment of incident patients who require PD training Training manuals and completion of 4 practical train the trainer modules (7 hours to complete, reimbursed) Clinical Assessment (Care Plan Development) (2 hours to complete, reimbursed) 6 Months Follow-up Week One Wee k Two Wee k Thre e - Four Study Outcomes Primary: Feasibility of PD training implementation - Identify barriers to practical implementation - Reproducibility Secondary: Nurse Educators training results Assessment of patient compliance, behaviour and understanding Patient retraining requirement Patient outcome (less important for pilot study) Feedback on o Quality of modules/training manual o Interphase/experience of training

57 TEACH-PD funding For the training modules development, clinical audit and the pilot study, the TEACH-PD Trial Steering Committee has secured the following funding: Baxter Competitor Educational Grant - A$60,000 Kidney Health Australia Enabling Grant A$10,000 BEAT-CKD Program Grant funding - A$100,000 International collaboration local context Australia New Zealand Canada Others in discussion
