Summary

The purpose of this study is to develop an evidence-based tailored eHealth self-management intervention for patients with chronic kidney disease in China, and test the impact on implementation and effectiveness of interventions.

Detailed description

Interventions that support disease self-management (further referred to as 'self-management interventions') can have a significant impact on the health and quality of life of patients suffering from chronic conditions in general and chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients in specific. In the last decade, the use of electronic health (eHealth) technology in self-management interventions has become more and more popular. EHealth-based self-management interventions have been shown to improve health-related outcomes, such as blood pressure (BP) control and medication adherence, and found to be feasible and acceptable for CKD patients and care professionals. Hence, the use of eHealth self-management interventions for CKD patients has become increasingly popular. Knowledge of the implementation and effectivity of such interventions in China and other developing countries is, however, still lacking. Researchers from the Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC) developed 'Medical Dashboard', an eHealth intervention to help support and involve CKD patients in their disease self-management. We aim to tailor the evidence-based Dutch intervention 'Medical Dashboard' to the Chinese context and evaluate its implementation process and effectiveness.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Medical Dashboard based self-management intervention	Before the start of the intervention, chronic kidney disease patients and care providers will receive a face-to-face training session on the use of Medical Dashboard. To avoid contamination, Medical Dashboard will only be made accessible for participants in the intervention group via a secure password-protected registration process.
