Views on Information Resources for Kidney Transplantation Patients

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The goal of this pilot study is to find out whether educational videos can help patients better understand, and remember, important information regarding the benefits and risks of having a kidney transplant. The study aims to answer several questions, including: 1. Is the video-based educational intervention acceptable and feasible for kidney transplant patients? 2. Does the intervention improve patient knowledge and satisfaction immediately after viewing? 3. Does the intervention improve patient knowledge retention a week later? 4. What are patients views on the video format as an educational tool? At the moment, patients learn about kidney transplantation through written documents, and discussions and conversations with their clinicians / doctors. However, the concern here is that not everyone has the same level of understanding when it comes to language literacy, medical jargon and information. This can result in gaps in knowledge, misunderstandings, and / or misinterpretations, including the need for lifelong medication and possible post-transplant complications. Patients understanding of the benefits and risks of transplantation is extremely important, as there are aspects which patients may not be aware of, including the need for (and importance of) lifelong medication, and also potential disease complications which may follow transplantation. For example, following a kidney transplant, it is not uncommon for patients to develop diabetes. Participants in the study will: Watch two short videos (roughly five minutes each) that explain the benefits and risks of kidney transplantation. Answer some questions before video viewing, immediately after video viewing, and one week after video viewing. Complete a short interview to give deeper feedback on the videos. This study will explore whether using video helps patients to feel more informed and also satisfied with the clinical information they receive, and whether they can better retain this information. The investigators aim to support more informed patients, making transplant education clearer, more accessible, and generally easier to understand.
