An interventional study of SOC + Educational Videos Designed Especially for post-transplant patients in Kidney Transplant; Complications, Patient Empowerment and Medication Adherence, sponsored by Duke University. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-04-19.
Sponsored by Duke University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Supportive care
The purpose of this research study is to determine the effectiveness of educational videos for patients who have just had kidney transplant compared to usual patient education practices. Eligible patients will have the opportunity to enroll in this study after their transplant procedure either before hospital discharge or at their first follow up clinic visit.
Participants will then complete a demographic survey and knowledge assesment to establish their baseline of knowledge regarding post-transplant care, medication adherence and patient satisfaction. Participants will then be randomly selected to receive either the usual patient education care provided for patients following kidney transplant, or to receive the usual care plus access to educational videos designed especially for post- transplant patients. Videos can be viewed on a tablet computer with their transplant team during clinic visits and at home using a smartphone.
At 3 months post-transplant, all participants will be asked to repeat the knowledge assessment. Hospital re-admissions and patient satisfaction will be measured at 6 months after transplant.

Exclusion Criteria:
Participants in this group will receive only SOC patient education following kidney transplant
Participants in this group receive SOC patient education following kidney transplant and access to educational videos designed specifically for post-kidney transplant patients.
Behavioral: SOC + Educational Videos Designed Especially for post-transplant patients
Patient focused videos (3-5 minutes each) with topics that will include: What to Expect After Transplant, What is the Kidney, Understanding your Labs, Transplant Medications, General Medical Care Post-Transplant, When to Call your Coordinator, and Self-Management/Sick Day protocols. Video curriculum will be offered in two ways. First, tablet computers with active links to each video will be available in kidney transplant clinic.

In addition, for patients with smartphones who consent to this, a desktop link will be provided to the transplant video curriculum webpage (mobile friendly view).
Change in patient transplant knowledge during intervention as measured by the scores from the "Transplant Knowledge" block within the Duke Transplant University Assessment
Change will be measured by comparing the scores from the Transplant Knowledge assessments completed at baseline and 3 months.
Time frame: Baseline to 3 months
Change in perceptions of self-efficacy as measured by the scores from the "Self-Efficacy and Resiliency" assessment within the Duke Transplant University Assessment
Change will be measured by comparing the scores from the Self-Efficacy and Resiliency assessments completed at baseline and 3 months.
Time frame: Baseline to 3 months
Number of medication errors made post-transplant as measured by pillbox errors
The number of medication errors will be measured by counting number of pill box errors identified by pharmacist's review of patient's pillbox during transplant follow up clinic visits conducted at 1 month, 2 months and 3 months.
Time frame: 1 month, 2 months and 3 months
Patients' satisfaction with the transplant experience as measured by satisfaction ratings
Patients' satisfaction with the transplant experience will be measured by the rating scores from "general satisfaction" metrics.
Time frame: Baseline and 6 months
Number of hospital re-admissions post transplant
Hospital re-admissions will be collected from patient report and review of electronic medical record
Time frame: Baseline to 6 months
