Abstract:
A quarter of the patients did not receive any information on any modality before the start of Renal Remplacement Therapy (RRT). We have therapeutic education workshops for all RRT except for home haemodialysis (HHD). We aimed to identify and describe the needs of patients and caregivers for RRT with HHD. Lastly, to conceive and carry out a Therapeutic Education Workshop. Method Two sequential methods of qualitative data collection were undertaken: (1) interviews with a patient who had been on HHD and a doctor specialized in HHD. (2) semi-structured interviews with HHD patients in our center. Analytic Approach Thematic analysis. We used thematic analysis and systematically coded and identified themes inductively from data. To ensure that the range and depth of data were reflected in the analysis, transcripts were independently analyzed by 2 research team members experienced in qualitative research. Transcribed interviews were entered into RQDA 3.6.1 (2019-07-05) software for data organization and coding purposes (Version 3.6.1). Patient interviews were ceased when no new codes were identified (data saturation) after five consecutive interviews. Results We identified six themes related to the barriers, facilitators, and potential solutions to home dialysis therapy: (1) HHD allows autonomy and freedom with constraints, (2) safety of the care environment, (3) the caregiver and family environment, (4) patient’s experience and experiential knowledge, (5) self-treatment experience - Impact on life, and (6) factors that impact the choice of treatment with HHD. we designed a model for a therapeutic education workshop in a group of 4 patients and 4 caregivers. Our approach is the person-centered model of care. The workshop is composed of 4 educational sequences Conclusion Our study confirmed previous results obtained about the major barriers, facilitators, and potential solutions to HHD. There are three important points regarding HHD: (1) the impact of the HHD on the caregiver, (2) the experience of patients already treated with HHD, and (3) the role of nurses and nephrologists in informing and educating. A program to develop patient-to-patient peer mentorship, allowing patients to discuss their dialysis experience, would be invaluable.
