| Abstract | Undertaking peritoneal dialysis (PD) therapy poses a challenge to all patients with renal failure. The potentially high risk of infection makes it essential that patients undertaking PD have adequate training and ongoing support. Over recent years, increasing numbers of elderly patients, patients with significant learning disabilities, and patients with marked comorbidities have been accepted onto renal replacement therapy programs. For those undertaking PD in particular, this has posed new educational challenges. The Community Dialysis Team recognized an area of weakness in their current training program for these patient groups. The degree of literacy skills as well as the volume of written material and the amount of medical terminology used did not result in a user-friendly training program. A collaborative approach involving various members of the multidisciplinary team designed an appropriate training program for patients with learning disabilities. The new program included (1) a photographic bag-exchange procedure; (2) the provision of simple, step-by-step instructions on audiotape; (3) a new assessment sheet where words were replaced with symbols; (4) a redesigned daily record sheet (used to monitor clinical parameters); and (5) a simple contact card. The quality of the new training program was assessed by a small pilot study evaluation. The reduction of training times and the satisfactory peritonitis rates suggest that the new multisensory training program could be successfully implemented. The use of pictorial aids and more symbols, with less focus on the written word, made PD training a viable option for many individuals, including elderly patients and those with learning disabilities. The increased use of pictorial aids and symbols may also be helpful in training patients where there is a language barrier as well as the pediatric population. |
