THE ASSESSMENT OF KNOWLEDGE IN PATIENTS WITH ESRD

该子项目是利用NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为中心，不一定是研究者所在机构。本横断面研究旨在评估终末期肾病血液透析患者的知识水平，并调查其与人口统计学变量的相关性。将从两个当地非卧床透析中心招募约80例接受长期血液透析的成人ESRD患者。参与包括完成一份调查问卷，旨在评估患者的知识水平（包括有关肾移植、饮食和锻炼的信息，以及与其他疾病的关系），以及对其护理的满意度和参与程度。要求GCRC提供信息支持，以协助数据收集，包括创建可扫描的数据收集/输入表格和访问统计分析软件。生物统计学支持将包括功效分析、统计方法的选择和最终数据的分析。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. This cross-sectional study seeks to assess the knowledge level of patients with ESRD on hemodialysis, and to investigate its correlation with demographic variables. Approximately 80 adult ESRD patients on chronic hemodialysis will be recruited from two local ambulatory dialysis centers. Participation includes completion of a questionnaire designed to assess the patient's level of knowledge (including information about kidney transplantation, diet and exercises for general well-being, and relationships with other diseases), as well as satisfaction and involvement with his/her care. GCRC informatics support is requested to assist with data collection, including the creation of scannable forms for data collection/entry and access to statistical analysis software. Biostatistics support will include assistance with power analysis, choice of statistical methods, and the analysis of the final data.
