Abstract EN
Several years after the initial usage of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), the percentage of patients using this continues to be very low constituting about 15% of all patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
In this study, we attempt to define the impact of an educational program for improving the use of CAPD.
This is a quasi-experimental study (before-after) conducted with educational materials including workshop, teaching by booklet and showing educational films, performed in Urmia, Iran.
We designed a questionnaire for data collection and enrolled 160 patients with an aim-based sampling method.
We used descriptive statistics and Friedman test for analysis in SPSS software version 11.5.
The overall patients' information about CAPD defined by total scoring was as follows: 75% had little information; 19% had moderate information and 6% of patients were well informed.
All the information levels increased after intervention.
Our study suggests that the poor utilization of CAPD is due to relative unawareness about PD and/or lack of adequate facilities.
