Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this single-blinded randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational intervention for patient self-management and successful renal replacement therapy in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients. The main question it aims to answer is whether the flipped class pedagogy in delivering the pre-dialysis program to CKD patients is effective. Participants will undergo a week-long intervention consisting of pre-class instructional videos, self-study tutorials, face-to-face sessions, and take-home exercises, and will be compared to those receiving the conventional educational course.


Clinical Trial Description

The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of the flipped classroom approach in CAPD training for CKD patients who have to plan for receiving peritoneal dialysis therapy. Learning outcomes, adherence to therapy, occurrence of infections (episodes per patient-month) - exit site infection/tunnel infection, and PD-related peritonitis will be investigated. The ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier of this study will be applied. Design and Randomisation This study is a single-blinded randomised controlled trial in a single centre. On completion of the baseline assessment and the screening procedure, eligible participants will be randomly assigned in equal number using sets of computer-generated random numbers into either the experimental group - FC training with audio-visual aids and the control group - Conventional Training (CT). The principal investigator and the nurse providing the intervention are aware of the patient group assignment. Assessment of the baseline and endpoints of the patient outcomes will be performed by an independent research assistant blinded to group allocation, who was not involved in the intervention. Figure 1 presented the data collection using the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT), which will be done before the commencement of the intervention (T1), immediately post-intervention (T2) and one month (T3) and three months (T4) after the completion of programme. Participants and Study setting Patients attending the outpatient renal clinic of a Kwong Wah Hospital in Hong Kong will be approached. Stage 5 CKD patients who are planned to receive dialysis therapy will be invited to join the study. Comorbidity will not be considered in client selection since research suggested that it only explains a modest part of the variance of patient outcome in a multicenter study on CKD patients (Steenkamp, Rao, & Fraser, 2016). Eligibility for the study will be determined by the initial screening on the condition of the CKD. ;
