Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this Delphi study is to identify priority outcomes for self-management in earlier (non-dialysis) stages of CKD from the perspectives of different stakeholder groups in the UK. The findings of this study will be used to inform outcome measure selection for research and clinical evaluations of self-management resources and to support implementation, commissioning and uptake.

Clinical Trial Description

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a progressive condition affecting more than 1.8 million people in England Effective self-management is important for people living with CKD like many Long-Term Conditions. Self-management in its broadest term can be summarised as individuals participating in the day-to-day management of their chronic condition Theory- and evidence-based tools and resources for self-management education and support are required to encourage health-promoting behaviours. However, outcomes valued by key stakeholders are necessary to ensure robust evaluation in research settings and clinical practice A Delphi study is carried out to generate consensus on outcomes that are valued by the stakeholder groups in this study. The Delphi study will undergo 3-4 survey rounds Adult CKD patient participants living in the UK and their significant others were recruited via social media adverts shared by our research team and English kidney community organisations. Healthcare professionals, commissioners and policymakers (professional groups) based in the UK were recruited by direct email invitations to our extensive contacts in the field ;
