decision-making of people with predialysis chronic kidney disease. Journal of Clinical
Nursing, 27(7-8), 1561–1571. https://doi.org/10.1111/jocn.14220
This study's objective was to provide the findings of a qualitative descriptive research
effort aimed at elucidating the subjective significance of choices made by individuals
with predialysis CKD as they thought about a potential switch to Renal Replacement
Therapy (RRT). The study was mainly concerned with the information gap between the
patients' view of their kidney health and their current level of wellness, their decisions
regarding whether they believed they required treatment, and their ideas regarding the
best therapy to employ and when to begin. The study concludes that someone would only
think about such an invasive therapy if their health status became seriously affected at
some point in the future. This emphasizes the significance of considering patients'
opinions of their well-being and ensuring they have plenty of opportunities to participate
actively in all facets of their CKD education and management. All participants in this
study declined the option to have family members or caregivers present, so their answers
to questions about how they came to their decisions did not fully reflect the significance
of the input that family members and caregivers can provide.

This study aimed to determine the correlations between health literacy, social support,
self-management behaviors, and the factors that influence self-management behaviors
among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially the independent effects of
health literacy and support systems. The research employed a cross-sectional
methodology. The analysis was extracted from a more extensive prospective study that
investigated the effects of health literacy education on managing CKD. In this research,
the authors utilized baseline data to test hypotheses concerning health literacy, social
support, and self-management practices. Patients with early-stage CKD who are older,
live independently and have little social support may have the lowest self-management
behaviors, according to the study. The research has numerous limitations. First, despite
using a random sample, participants tended to be older, had lower levels of education,
and had advanced CKD. Thus, the results may not apply to all CKD patients. Second,
because the majority of participants in the study participated in a CKD case management
program for more than 24 months, they had positive relations with clinical staff. Thirdly,
the surveys were self-reports, and objective assessments of self-management practices,
caregiver health literacy, and health outcomes were unavailable. Lastly, because the
cross-sectional design prevents causal inferences, only speculations can be made
regarding the mechanisms behind the benefits of social support and health literacy.

This descriptive study examined the relationship between patient education's sufficiency
and usefulness from the perspective of those with chronic renal disease. The objective
was to determine if patient education's sufficiency and utility should be considered when
evaluating its quality. This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in two
hospital districts in Finland's dialysis units. A written, structured questionnaire was used
to gather information to assess the necessity and value of patient education. The study's
advantages demonstrated a correlation between adequate and beneficial patient education.
In other words, patient education is helpful when persons receiving pre- and home
dialysis care consider it adequate, and vice versa. There are some restrictions on the
sample, questionnaire, and patient education in this study. The limitations of the
questionnaire relate to the finding that the sufficiency-usefulness relationship was strong
across all dimensions of empowering knowledge and that they only have knowledge of
the standard practice of patient education for those receiving pre- and home dialysis care.
They also need comprehensive information about the sample.

awareness and the social determinants of health inequities. Journal of Advanced Nursing,
78(4), 918–928. https://doi.org/10.1111/jan.15107
This article explores the socioeconomic determinants of health inequities linked with
chronic kidney disease (CKD) knowledge, revealing the gaps in health equity and
highlighting the social inequalities within kidney disease care. A comprehensive review
was conducted so that quantitative, qualitative, and theoretical studies could be included,
and the phenomenon could be better understood. This review highlighted the following
concepts: assessment of CKDA, socioeconomic position, education, gender, race &
ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY 5
ethnicity, and other CKDA contributors. In light of these findings, future research,
education, public health campaigns, and advocacy initiatives should investigate the
creation of targeted interventions for persons less likely to be aware of their CKD status.
This analysis primarily focuses on patient-level issues; however, structural and systemic
variables may also influence CKDA and are not covered in this review. In addition,
several other credible theories and frameworks are used to explain the dynamic of
chronic illness about SDHI, which may add to or improve our knowledge of this
phenomenon.

people with chronic kidney disease: A pragmatic randomized controlled trial. Journal of
Advanced Nursing, 75(3), 652–664. https://doi.org/10.1111/jan.13924
The study's objective was to determine whether a self-management intervention,
compared to standard care, enhanced self-management behavior, knowledge, self-
efficacy, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and blood pressure in adults with CKD
stages 3-5. The study's design used a pragmatic randomized controlled trial (pRCT) with
one-to-one allocation into two parallel groups and repeated measurements. A pRCT
makes it possible to involve a broader spectrum of patients in an intervention, improving
external validity and the ability to apply findings to clinical care. The study has a
significant aspect that can guide the creation and use of self-management programs in
clinical practice, the treatment of chronic diseases, and the nurse's role. It was also the
first CKD self-management trial conducted in Vietnam, advancing nursing expertise in
this field globally to enhance patient care. One of the study's limitations was that it
attempted to blind outcome evaluators to group allocation, which was not always possible
ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY 6
because some participants who received the intervention revealed their allocation to the
outcome research assistant. Second, despite the possibility that the diversity in CKD
knowledge in this group was to blame, the Vietnamese version of the Kidney Disease
Knowledge Survey (KiKS) showed poor reliability. In this target demographic, this
instrument has to be tested further. Finally, the study's duration and sample size may have
needed to be sufficient to detect the effects of the intervention on clinical outcomes,
including blood pressure and eGFR.
In the 21st century, chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become one of the leading causes
of death and suffering. In 2017, an estimated 843.6 million people worldwide were diagnosed
with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This increase is partially attributable to increased risk
factors, such as obesity and diabetes mellitus. Although mortality in patients with end-stage
kidney disease (ESKD) has decreased, the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) studies indicate that
chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become the leading cause of death worldwide (Kovesdy,
2022). A lack of understanding of the magnitude of the CKD problem has wasted valuable time
(Compton et al., 2022). Patients starting dialysis with anemia, bone disorder, left ventricular
hypertrophy, and other chronic conditions that should have been discussed years earlier, having
resulted from underplaying the size of the CKD population and ignoring the necessity for early
identification and intervention. Not only does early identification and intervention improve the
outcomes of dialysis patients, but it also helps improve their position as transplant candidates.
Five years ago, I began working in a medical/renal unit. Working with CKD patients can
be difficult for nurses: comorbid conditions may include cardiovascular disease, diabetes
mellitus, hypertension, infectious disease, bone disease, and psychiatric disorders. Moreover,

many experiences psychosocial issues. The nurse's role is to assist patients in managing their
lives, including socializing, maintaining relationships, and engaging in hobbies, while effectively
addressing their health concerns. In inpatient settings, patients are frequently gravely ill, and care
is brisk and strenuous. The nephrology nurse is a vital multidisciplinary team member that
provides care for patients with complex needs. In this setting, the nurse serves as an advocate,
educator, consultant, coordinator of care, and direct caregiver for chronically ill patients.
Consequently, the nephrology nurse can enhance the quality of patients' existence.
