  • Identification of healthcare professionals involved in patient education.

    • Main Results:

    • Most patients reported receiving adequate information about kidney disease treatments.
    • A significant number of patients were not informed about all available treatment modalities.
    • One-to-one discussions were the primary method of education, with nephrologists being the most common source.
    • Nursing staff were involved in educating 46% of participants.

    Conclusions:

    • While patient education is generally adequate, comprehensive information on all treatment options is not consistently provided.
    • Improving the completeness of information on all available kidney disease treatments is essential.
    • Multidisciplinary education involving nephrologists and nurses can enhance patient understanding and decision-making.
