Interventions
Intervention to reduce infectious complications of peritoneal dialysis
* Before catheter placement: The nurse and doctor provide the patient and/or caregiver with a PD simulation. * Initial training: from the placement of the catheter to the beginning of the technique at home, approximately 4 weeks, 6 and 7 sessions, duration 1-2 hours per session. Individualized learning taking into account learning abilities and education. It includes the explanation of the PD and the display of informational pictograms/capsules. * Step-by-step teaching: peritoneal exchange, peritoneal orifice care, administration of intraperitoneal medication, recording of constants, detection of complications and risk behaviors. * Nutritional education and water intake. * Administration of the Objective Structured Assessment (OSA) checklist. * Retraining: between the 1st and 3rd month of the start, after an episode of peritonitis and/or hospitalization, risk behaviors, functional/cognitive impairment, passivity/demotivation behaviors, and regularly once the year.
