Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Patient Care
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Peritoneal dialysis (PD) training is typically conducted in a clinical setting.
  • Effective patient training is crucial for successful home-based dialysis management.
  • Bridging the gap between clinical training and home practice is essential for patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the value of home visits in peritoneal dialysis (PD) training.
  • To explore the benefits and limitations of conducting home visits for PD patients.
  • To provide practical guidelines for implementing home visits in PD care.

Main Methods:

  • The article reviews the role of home visits in assessing PD training objectives.
  • It discusses the observation of patient technique and adherence in the home environment.
  • Practical guidelines and documentation tools for home visits are presented.

Main Results:

  • Home visits offer a unique opportunity to evaluate the real-world application of PD training.
  • They facilitate direct observation of patient self-care and identify potential challenges.
  • Home visits support the continuity of care between the dialysis unit and the patient's home.

Conclusions:

  • Home visits are a valuable component of comprehensive PD training and patient support.
  • They improve the assessment of training effectiveness and patient safety.
  • Implementing structured home visits enhances the overall quality of peritoneal dialysis care.
