Phase N/A

Overview

Home dialysis modalities, including peritoneal dialysis (PD) and home hemodialysis (HHD), represent alternatives to conventional in-center hemodialysis (HD) that for some patients may be better aligned with preferences regarding the integration of dialysis treatments into their lives. Assessment of patient experience and satisfaction with care among individuals undergoing maintenance dialysis in the United States is a national health care priority and mandated by Congress. While validated instruments (ICH CAHPS) are in use to assess patient experience with in-center HD, currently no validated instruments are available to measure patient-reported experience in home dialysis.

This Home Patient Experience Survey Validation Study is an in-house research study conducted in partnership with the University of Washington.

Description

Assessment of patient experience and satisfaction with care among individuals undergoing maintenance dialysis in the United States is a national health care priority and mandated by Congress. No validated instruments are available to measure the patient-reported experience of care in-home dialysis patients. Such tools are needed as more patients are expected to choose home dialysis therapies in the future. This study aims to validate a home patient experience survey instrument.

This is a cross-sectional validation to determine the measurement properties of a new home dialysis patient experience survey instrument. Satellite Healthcare home dialysis patients will be approached by mail or by phone to complete the survey.

The aim of this study is to perform field testing for this newly developed instrument for the purposes of instrument validation and to determine survey instrument measurement properties. This will include the evaluation of any multi-item scales as well as an overall score.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients receiving care for home dialysis at a facility that provides care for >= 3 patients at the time of cohort identification.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Age < 18 years
  • Patients receiving care for home dialysis at the facility for less than 3 months
  • Institutionalized (senior nursing facility/multi-resident facility) or Hospice care patients

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
