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

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]
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
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
