Current web-based educational approaches about living kidney donation (LKD) are complex, lengthy, and/or text-laden, which may impair accurate interpretation of information, thereby limiting transplant access.This paper describes the process developing animation-based LKD education designed to be suitable for and acceptable candidates their support networks.Based on formative work, early animation prototypes were by a surgeon health communication expert. In qualitative focus groups...
Transplant candidates struggle making decisions about accepting kidneys with variable kidney donor profile index (KDPI) and increased risk (IRD) status.This single site, pilot randomized controlled trial evaluated the efficacy of 2 animations to improve KDPI/IRD knowledge, decisional self-efficacy, willingness. Kidney were randomly assigned animation viewing plus standard nurse discussion (intervention) or alone (control). Linear regression was used test significance exposure after...
Abstract Background We aimed to develop and feasibility test an educational video culturally targeted African American (AA) patients regarding kidney allocation. Methods iteratively refined animated for AAs with multiple stakeholder input conducted a one‐group, pre–post study 50 transplant candidates assess acceptability. A mixed population was chosen obtain race‐specific acceptability data efficacy estimates larger study. Results Median participant age 56 years, 50% were AA. Comparing...
Abstract Background Transplant candidates are reluctant to accept kidneys from high Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) donors. Incomplete understanding can lead transplant delays for older candidates. Patients need access understandable information make more informed decisions about KDPI. Methods We developed a KDPI‐specific animation with input six stakeholder groups and conducted one‐group pre‐post study 60 kidney feasibility acceptability improve participant KDPI knowledge, understanding,...
BACKGROUND Patient knowledge gaps about the evaluation and waitlisting process for kidney transplantation lead to delayed incomplete testing, which compromise transplant access. We aimed develop evaluate a novel video education approach empower patients proceed with listing increase their motivation. MATERIAL AND METHODS developed 2 theory-informed educational animations input from experts in communication, 20 candidates/recipients, 5 caregivers, 1 anthropologist, 3 community advocates, 36...
Increasing living-donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) requires education of transplant candidates and their social network. This pre-post study tested the feasibility acceptability KidneyTIME, an intervention which leverages LDKT video-based educational content designed for sharing.
Background. Current educational interventions about increased risk donors (IRDs) are less effective in improving knowledge among African American (AA) kidney transplant candidates compared to other races. We aimed develop an IRD animated video culturally responsive AAs and conduct feasibility testing. Methods. Between May 1, 2018, June 25, we iteratively refined a targeted for with input from multiple stakeholders. then conducted one group pre-post study between 28, October 29, 40 assess the...
Kidney transplant education in dialysis facilities could be optimized with internet resources, like videos, but most qualitative research predates widespread availability of online video about kidney transplantation. To improve understanding staff practices, as well the potential value video, we conducted focus groups center members Buffalo, NY.
Background Web-based education may be a powerful tool to support transplant candidates’ learning and communication about live donor kidney transplantation. Few educational interventions are web-based have sharing for living as primary goal. Methods Through user-centered design iterative usability testing, we developed web platform, called KidneyTIME, an intervention adult candidates. KidneyTIME delivers animated videos improve candidate knowledge, motivation, self-efficacy pursue...
Background:The KidneyTIME educational animations intervention was developed through a partnership with transplant surgeon, an expert in communication, community advocacy group, and professional animator.Material Methods: iteratively relying on patient stakeholder feedback effort to maximize its intended effect.The scope execution of the project presented unexpected challenges that threatened timely completion intervention.Results: Animation development encountered opportunities receipt...
