Study Details

Brief summary:

The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to evaluate a culturally tailored computerized education program in hospitalized African-American patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). The main question it aims to answer are: does computerized adaptive education (CAE) increase patients' knowledge about CKD self-care and renal replacement therapy (RRT) options compared to usual care (UC) and will CAE will be increase patients' intent to participate in CKD self-care and RRT preparation compared to UC

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

active comparator: Usual Care

The research assistant (RA) will use tablet to give participants baseline General Health Knowledge and Intent survey and leave printed patient education materials about general health maintenance. In the initial consent, pre-intervention survey and education materials, investigators will not provide CKD specific knowledge or inform participants about their CKD.

experimental: Computerized Patient Education

The RA will assist participants in starting the computer program and encourage review of the advanced CKD education module. The computer-adaptive education module will alter the content of education topics based on some preliminary participant information.

Interventions

Computerized CKD Education

The intervention is a culturally tailored computer-based adaptive program (developed during this intervention) to educate patients about kidney disease and renal replacement therapy options.

Usual Hospital Care

Computer based patient education materials about general healthy lifestyle that will include information about the importance of a healthy diet, physical activity and medical adherence

Primary outcome measure

  • Change in CKD Knowledge baseline to post patient education intervention [ Time Frame: Baseline and 1 day post-intervention ]
  • Change in Knowledge about end stage kidney disease (ESKD) treatments from baseline to 1 day post patient education intervention [ Time Frame: Baseline and 1 day post-intervention ]
  • Change in ESKD Treatment Preferences from baseline to 1 day post-intervention [ Time Frame: Baseline and 1 day post-intervention ]
