About this study

Use mobile-based training system in peritoneal dialysis patients' retraining programs and continuously monitor the effectiveness.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients who have received peritoneal dialysis for more than 3 months; patients who have received peritoneal dialysis for less than 3 months but have recovered from peritonitis or catheter-related infection; patients who are conscious and have no mental illness.

Exclusion criteria

  • Patients who are unable to perform peritoneal dialysis independently; illiterate; suffering from peritonitis or catheter exit site infection.

Treatment and study plan

Other

Receiving routine care.

Retraining Program

Other

Retraining program using a mobile-based training system.

Primary outcomes

  1. Peritoneal Dialysis Knowledge Scale

    Time frame: Immediately after recruitment, 1 month and 2 months after intervention

    Knowledge issues related to peritoneal dialysis. The Peritoneal Dialysis Care Knowledge Questionnaire will include questions related to hand hygiene, peritoneal dialysis exchange procedures, catheter exit-site care, and knowledge about infections and peritonitis. The questionnaire consists of approximately 20 questions. Each correct answer is awarded 1 point, while incorrect answers receive 0 points, with a total score of 20 points. A higher score indicates better knowledge of peritoneal dialysis care among participants.

  2. Peritoneal Dialysis Procedure Checklist

    Time frame: Immediately after recruitment, 1 month and 2 months after intervention

    This scale is used to evaluate all steps involved in hand hygiene, peritoneal dialysis solution bag exchange, and catheter exit-site care. Each item is assessed with a "Yes" or "No" response, with a total of 25 items. Correct actions are awarded 1 point, while incorrect actions receive 0 points, for a maximum score of 25. Higher scores indicate better proficiency in peritoneal dialysis care-related techniques among participants.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Infection event rate

    Time frame: 6 months after recruitment

    Infection event related to catheter exit care and peritonitis
