Popis: Structural visualization was implemented on catheter management education for peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients requiring expert nursing. An education program utilizing electronic images was proposed as a method of monitoring the exit site, which is of high importance in PD catheter self-management. Recording images of the exit site and utilizing them as part of the education program encouraged a common understanding of the exit site between nurses and patients, and helped to achieve a better quality of patient education. It is thought that visualization of nursing practice and the thinking processes of expert nurses which have not been expressly stated previously can become a foundation for more advanced nursing care throughout the profession.
