CAPD
CONTINUOUS AMBULATORY PERITONEAL
DIALYSIS TRAINING PROGRAM
Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) training programs have become fundamental patient education programs in renal centers providing peritoneal dialysis (PD) services.
Health care and organizational issues
Multidisciplinary team approach
Evidence-based practice
Pre-training patient assessment
Patient training
Program evaluation
Identify key learning objectives for patient training.
The essential elements of CAPD training are the training content and
Schedule
Training assessment
Teaching methods.
Program set-up also includes establishing a back-up system and follow-up protocols, which are essential for continuity of care in renal patients. Outcomes such as rates of peritonitis and exit- site infection, unplanned readmission, and patient satisfaction are all important indicators when the results of CAPD training programs are reviewed. The development and successful implementation of a cost-effective CAPD training program has a significant impact on patient out- comes in the renal specialty.
Health Care and Organizational Issues:
The administrators should establish detailed;
Implementation schedules,
Resource plans,
Achievement indicators
Monitoring mechanisms to support the development plan.
Potential benefits of developing and implementing the CAPD training program
Direct costs - refer to teaching, equipment, and materials directly associated with the actual education program.
Indirect costs - include staff training, coordination of the program, administrative overhead, and program evaluation.
Training can be conducted at a satellite dialysis or a training venue attached to a renal unit.
Multidisciplinary Team Approach:
The multidisciplinary team approach in delivering care to CAPD patients is most desirable. The team includes renal physicians;
Surgeons,
Renal nurses,
Social workers,
Dietitians,
Physiotherapists,
Occupational
