Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) training programs have become fundamental patient education programs in renal centers providing peritoneal dialysis (PD) services. Several key topics must be addressed in setting up a CAPD training program:•Health care and organizational issues•Multidisciplinary team approach•Evidence-based practice•Pre-training patient assessment•Patient training•Program evaluationThe PD nurses should identify key learning objectives for patient training. The essential elements of CAPD training are the training content and schedule, training assessment, and teaching methods. Program set-up also includes establishing a back-up system and follow-up protocols, which are essential for continuity of care in renal patients. Outcomes such as rates of peritonitis and exit-site infection, unplanned readmission, and patient satisfaction are all important indicators when the results of CAPD training programs are reviewed. The development and successful implementation of a cost-effective CAPD training program has a significant impact on patient outcomes in the renal specialty. |
